I don't see the actual arguments to drag. Please paste each argument (premises and conclusion) or attach a screenshot and I will place each one into Sound / Valid but unsound / Invalid.

Meanwhile, here are quick definitions and how to decide:

- Valid: the conclusion follows logically from the premises (if the premises were true, the conclusion must be true). Validity is about form, not truth of premises.
- Sound: the argument is valid AND all its premises are actually true.
- Invalid: the conclusion does not follow from the premises (even if the premises are true, the conclusion could still be false).

Quick test steps:
1. Ask: If all premises were true, could the conclusion be false? If yes → invalid.
2. If no → valid. Then check the premises’ truth:
- If premises are true → sound.
- If at least one premise is false → valid but unsound.

Examples:
- Sound: "All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore Socrates is mortal." (valid + true premises)
- Valid but unsound: "All cats are reptiles. Felix is a cat. Therefore Felix is a reptile." (valid form but false premise)
- Invalid: "All dogs are mammals. Fido is a mammal. Therefore Fido is a dog." (conclusion doesn’t follow)

Send the specific arguments and I’ll classify each.
