ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT!!!
1. Which of these is a true/false statement?
A) proposition
B) non-proposition
C) complex proposition
D) simple proposition
Answer: A) proposition
Explanation: A proposition is a statement that can either be true or false. It's a
declarative sentence that asserts something about the world, making it a statement
that can be verified.
2. Which of these is a statement that is neither true nor false, is simple (as in
only makes one claim), and can be a question?
A) simple proposition
B) proposition
C) complex proposition
D) non-proposition
Answer: D) non-proposition
Explanation: A non-proposition is a sentence that doesn’t assert anything that can
be true or false, such as a question or a command. For example, "Where are my
keys?" is a non-proposition because it’s not a statement that can be evaluated as
true or false.
,3. Which of these is a statement made up of two simple propositions put
together, uses internal logic (how the parts relate to each other), and is only
true if both parts are true?
A) complex proposition
B) non-proposition
C) simple proposition
D) proposition
Answer: A) complex proposition
Explanation: A complex proposition is made up of multiple simple propositions
and has internal logic that relates the parts. For example, "The sky is blue and the
grass is green" is a complex proposition where both parts must be true for the
whole statement to be true.
Which of these consists of one or more premises and one conclusion?
- complex proposition
- argument
- non-argument
- Fallacy -ANSWER✔✔An argument

(Because, for, given that, as, since, as indicated by) -ANSWER✔✔A premise
What is being referred to below?
A statement/claim supported by an arguments reasons, and is what is believed in
the argument. Indicated by the words (Therefore, so, it follows that, thus, we may
conclude that, as a result) -ANSWER✔✔A conclusion
What term do these words indicate ?
(Therefore, so, it follows that, thus, we may conclude that, as a result) -
ANSWER✔✔A conclusion
Which of these consists of a proposition without an argument being made, and
includes explanations, stories, and statements that stand on their own?
- argument
- non-argument
- complex proposition
- inference -ANSWER✔✔A non-argument
Which of these establishes a conclusion in a way that doubt or exceptions are not
possible, and the premises/reasons provide evidence the conclusion must be true?
