Is the fоllоwing nоn-deductive аrgument strong or weаk? We hаve four suspects in our investigation into Mr. Body's murder: Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Ms. Scarlett, and Professor Plum. We learned that at the time of Mr. Body's death, Colonel Mustard and Mrs. Peacock had accidentally locked themselves in the kitchen. That leaves only Ms. Scarlett and Professor Plum who could have entered the observatory to kill Mr. Body. We found ashes near the victim, but Mr. Body and Ms. Scarlett do not smoke.
