QUESTIONS
◉ Non- propositions. Answer: statements about matter of fact;
they do not make a claim that can be true or false.
◉ Complex Propositions. Answer: Simple Propositions: have
no internal logical structure, meaning whether they are true or
false does not depend on whether a part of them is true or false.
They are simply true or false on their own.
Complex Proposition: have internal logical structure, meaning
they are composed of simple propositions. Whether complex
propositions are true or false depends on whether their parts are
true or false and how those parts are connected.
◉ Premise. Answer: an assumption; the basis for a conclusion
◉ Bad inferential structure. Answer: In arguments with a bad

◉ Deductive inference. Answer: if the premises intend to
provide conclusive support for the conclusion—if they intend to
guarantee the conclusion or make the conclusion certain.
◉ Abduction inference. Answer: arguments where the best
available explanation is chosen as the correct explanation
◉ Sound Argument. Answer: a valid argument in which all of
the premises are true
◉ Truth argument. Answer: If the world is as the proposition
claims it is, then the proposition is true.

structure are true, then the conclusion of that argument must be
true.
