"In the shooter hypothesis, a good marksman shoots at a target, creating a hole every ten centimeters. Now suppose the surface of the target is inhabited by intelligent, two-dimensional creatures. Their scientists, after observing the universe, discover a great law: “There exists a hole in the universe every ten centimeters.” They have mistaken the result of the marksman’s momentary whim for an unalterable law of the universe."
[2]
"The farmer hypothesis, on the other hand...
Every morning on a turkey farm, the farmer comes to feed the turkeys. A scientist turkey, having observed this pattern to hold without change for almost a year, makes the following discovery: “Every morning at eleven, food arrives.” On the morning of Thanksgiving, the scientist announces this law to the other turkeys. But that morning at eleven, food doesn’t arrive; instead, the farmer comes and kills the entire flock."

FYI, no one here is going to do your homework for you. You should have figured that out by now.
Pardon me if I am being obtuse, but in a philosophy and reasoning course, surely the idea is you do your own thinking and reasoning?
What intrigues me is this - what the OP has asked for gives me a certain impression of his/her aptitude for philosophy and reasoning. In the unlikely event that anybody on here furnished even a half-way decent essay as requested, and the OP submitted it as his/her own work, don't you think the professor or teacher (who must surely have formed the same impression) would smell a rat?
