Explanation:

• "An argument is like a building...": This uses an analogy (comparing an argument to a building) to explain the importance of evidence in an argument. So it is Reasoning by analogy.
• "Someone you know starts to withdraw...": Here, a behavior (withdrawing from family/friends and activities) is presented as a sign that may indicate mental - health distress. So it is Reasoning by sign.
• "I have owned three used automobiles...": The speaker uses their own past experiences (examples of owning three used cars) to make a point about what owning a used car may entail. So it is Reasoning by example.
• "Over the last decade mental health issues...": It shows a cause - effect relationship (increase in social - media usage as a cause of rising mental - health issues). So it is Reasoning by cause.

Answer:

"An argument is like a building..." = Reasoning by analogy
"Someone you know starts to withdraw..." = Reasoning by sign
"I have owned three used automobiles..." = Reasoning by example
"Over the last decade mental health issues..." = Reasoning by cause
