TRUE OR FALSE LOGIC
1. An argument that predicts what will happen in the future, based upon what has happened in the past, is an deductive argument.
2. If an argument contains the phrase "it definitely follows that", then we know for certain that the argument is deductive.
3. The person usually credited with being the father of logic is Aristotle.
4. A valid argument needs not only correct logical form, but also true premises.
5. "Accordingly" is not a conclusion indicator word.
6. "Pile these boxes of books in the corner." This sentence is a statement.
7. In an explanation, the statement that describes the event to be explained is called the explanans.
8. A deductive argument always proceeds from the general to the particular.
9. If the form of a deductive argument allows for a substitution instance having true premises and a true conclusion, then we automatically know that the argument is valid.
