Teacher: We would like you to classify each of the following sets of argument pairs (discussing Gay Marriage)  into either SIMILAR or NOT SIMILAR. A pair of arguments is considered SIMILAR if the arguments are about the same FACET (making the same argument), and is considered NOT SIMILAR if they do not have the same FACET. A FACET is a low level issue that often reoccurs in many arguments in support of the author's stance or in attacking the other author's position.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Sent1: Many social conservatives argue that benefits are provided to married couples because, in turn, married couples benefit society. 
 Sent2: We give married couples marriage benefits TO STRENGTHEN the marriage, because marriage STRENGTHENS society.
Solution: Similar
Reason: Both arguments argue that married couples can benefit the society.

Now, solve this instance: Sent1: The individual in a polygamous relationship is not denied the benefits of marriage, and he does not have to change his relationship to get those benefits, and therefore the individual is certainly not denied equality.
 Sent2: Someone in a homosexual relationship is not able to give anyone else those benefits unless he chooses someone completely outside of the relationships, someone arbitrary, who is not actually part of the family.
Student:
Not similar
