HSRT test prep exam 2023 with 100% correct answers

(given all the information in the passage, it is certainly the case that this inference is correct...) Definitely true (given all the information in the passage, it is likely that the inference is correct. However, it is not guaranteed..) Probably true (given all of the information in the passage, it is impossible to say whether the inferences is true or false..) Insufficient data to say whether it is true or false (given all of the information in the passage, it is likely that the inference is incorrect. However, it is not guaranteed..) Probably false (given all of the information in the passage, it is impossible for the statement to be correct..) Definitely false Assumption claim that is accepted as the truth without sufficient evidence Inference coming to a conclusion based on evidence, which in turn brings the individual to conclusion (which isn't explicit, but implied from the evidence). Inferences are different than assumptions in that they are based on some evidence. Inferences aren't always correct, so shouldn't be accepted as truth. Interpretations similar to inferences, but focus on whether a conclusion logically follows from a statement. For example, if it's made clear that there can only be white and black swan in the world, an interpretation o this statement would be that there's no such thing as a green swan. Deductions similar to interpretations, but are stricter in their logical format. Valid deductive arguments are arguments which, if all premises are true, then the conclusion cannot be false. Example: Premise 1: The book is on the shelf Premise 2: If the book is on the shelf, then it isn't on the floor. Conclusion: The book is not on the floor. Evaluations determine how strong an argument is by comparing it to the information its based on. What constitutes a strong or weak argument usually depends on how relevant the argument is, how well supported it is by the statement, and whether or not it avoids argumentative fallacies
