PHIL 124 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
ANSWERS A+ RATED
it is possible for an invalid argument to have all of its premises and its conclusion true. -
ANSWER True
if all the premises of an invalid argument are true then its conclusion must be false. -
ANSWER false
if an inductive argument is strong then its conclusion must be true. - ANSWER false
if a valid argument has a conclusion that is false, then one of its premises must be false -
ANSWER true
some deductively sound arguments are not valid. - ANSWER false
a valid argument cannot have a false premise - ANSWER false
all valid arguments are deductively sound arguments - ANSWER false
any deductive argument with all true premises and a true conclusion is deductively sound -
ANSWER false
, if the conclusion of a deductive argument is false, then the argument either is invalid or is an
argument with at least one false premise - ANSWER true
deductive arguments are always arguments having general propositions as premises and a
particular proposition as a conclusion - ANSWER false
deductively sound arguments provide conclusive grounds for the truth of their conclusions,
while inductively sound arguments only provide some justification , or reasons, for accepting
the truth of their conclusions - ANSWER true
inductive arguments do not vary in their degree of strength or weakness so that inductive
arguments are just simply either strong or weak - ANSWER false
Every cogent argument is either deductively sound or inductively sound - ANSWER true
since a complete analysis of an arguments cogency involves the determination of the likely
truth of falsity of the unsupported claims made, the critical analysis of arguments actually
involves more than the subject matter of logic alone. - ANSWER true
a refutation by logical analogy always involves finding an analogous argument that has the
same logical form but has all true premsises and a false conclusion - ANSWER false
