Application goal: Identifying an unstated premise.
Some arguments depend on an unstated assumption. Ask what must be true for the conclusion to follow from the premises, then examine the support for that assumption.
Context: An assumption behind a proposal to expand. Identify the wording that achieves this goal, then adapt the details to a situation of your own.

Practical examples
The proposal argues that a well-attended opening event justifies a larger venue for every future session.
يرى المقترح أن الإقبال الجيد على فعالية الافتتاح يبرر مكانًا أكبر لكل جلسة قادمة.
The argument depends on an unstated assumption that attendance at the opening predicts ordinary demand.
تعتمد الحجة على افتراض غير معلن بأن حضور الافتتاح يتنبأ بالطلب المعتاد.
That may be true, but the opening could also have attracted people because it was a one-off occasion.
قد يكون ذلك صحيحًا، لكن الافتتاح ربما جذب أشخاصًا أيضًا لكونه مناسبة استثنائية.
