Hence I will choose the work of the teacher.
It would appear from these ordinary experiences that frequently we are brought face to face with a choice of alternatives which are not unattractive, as in the case of the dilemma. Moreover, some condition suggests itself which, if proved or disproved, will lead to a choice of one of these alternatives. Such circumstances when thrown into the form of an argument present a disjunctive proposition followed by a hypothetical argument. To put it differently: Often in our daily affairs a most prominent limiting condition induces us to select one out of several alternatives. These alternatives are not dilemmatic in nature.
