Valid Arguments vs. Sound Arguments
Every complete argument has two components written down on paper: 1. ___ - supporting statements. 2. ___ - the main point or biggest claim of the argument. |
1. Premises
2. Conclusion |

A ___ argument is successful on every level: the premises are true, and the conclusion logically follows from the premises. When a conclusion follows logically from true premises, that conclusion is therefore true.
