1.The main difference between argument and opinion is 'Opinions are personal beliefs' and 'Arguments are reasons (which can include facts) given to support a point of view'.
Opinion can be formed by or based upon virtually anything, and an opinion is not necessarily based upon what is true, accurate or informed.How convincing an argument is is dependent on how closely the various components of the argument support the overall position being presented. A good or convincing argument might, for example, present evidence clearly and coherently to help illustrate the point being made.
A deductive argument can be both “valid” and “sound’. If it is valid it means that provided the premises are true there is no way the the conclusion can be false. The premises are the facts that form the foundation of the argument. The deductive argument is the logic that connects the facts to the conclusion.
An “opinion” does not have the structure of a deductive argument. And as such it cannot be “valid”. It may correspond with truth or it may not. The reasoning - if indeed there be any - is not exposed for scrutiny. It is simply an expression of a person’s belief about some issue.- with no argument advanced to support it.
An “abductive” argument - also known as a theory- may or may not be true. But it can be tested to see if it is or not. An opinion cannot be usually be tested as to its truth.
A description is a detailed account of the certain or salient aspects, characteristics, or features of a subject matter or something seen, heard, or otherwise experienced or known.The definition of a description is a statement that gives details about someone or something. An example of description is a story about the places visited on a family trip.
