The argument presented in the statement “He is a celebrity, but he cannot help your family” is unsound.
An argument is considered sound if it is both valid (the conclusion logically follows from the premises) and the premises are true. In this case, the statement implies a conclusion (he cannot help your family) based on the premise of being a celebrity, but the status of being a celebrity does not logically guarantee the ability to help someone, nor does it provide enough information to establish a valid argument. Therefore, it lacks validity and is classified as unsound.
