What part of the argument is missing from this paragraph?

The reason boats can float is because they are hollow and have a large surface area. This evidence matters because in the text "Why things float in water" it states that "This is one reason huge ships can float, even though they’re very heavy. Inside a ship, there’s a lot of hollow space filled only with air" and "When an object has a larger surface, or is much bigger in size, the object is more buoyant (BOY-ant), which means it floats better."
