A sound argument is one where the reasons are true and they actually prove the answer.
That means two things: (1) the reasons (premises) are true, and (2) the conclusion follows logically from those reasons.
Example: "All dogs are mammals. Fido is a dog. So Fido is a mammal." — the reasons are true and the conclusion follows, so it’s sound.
