INSTRUCTIONS: Select the correct answer for the following multiple choice questions.Which of the following are all deductive arguments?

INSTRUCTIONS: A) Fill out a truth table for the following argument, and then B) state whether the statement is valid or invalid. If the argument is invalid, identify the line(s) that prove that it is invalid. Be sure to identify the main operator of each statement and show all of your work. N  ≡  D   /   D  ⊃  ∼ N   //   ∼ NYou may copy the first line of a truth table for this argument from here: N ≡ D / D ⊃ ~ N // ~ N

P  ∨  J   /   ∼(J  •  ∼ P)   //   J  ≡  ∼ PYou may copy the first line of a truth table for this argument from here: P ∨ J / ~ (J • ~ P) // J ≡ ~ P

INSTRUCTIONS: The following problems relate to identifying and evaluating inductive and deductive arguments. Select the best answer for each.Pencil lead is composed of pure carbon, and pencil lead is very cheap.  Diamonds, like pencil lead, are composed of pure carbon.  Therefore, probably diamonds are very cheap.

​ INSTRUCTIONS: The following selections relate to distinguishing arguments from nonarguments and identifying conclusions. Select the best answer for each.Apple seeds and cherry pits are poisonous because they contain cyanide compounds. Your body can detoxify small quantities of these compounds, but larger doses can lead to difficulty in breathing, increased blood pressure and heart rate, and kidney failure. Reactions can include coma, convulsions, and death from respiratory arrest. Anne Marie Helmstine, “Your Guide to Chemistry”
