Question

Sound Valid but unsound Invalid
Argument

The nineteenth amendment gave woman in the united states the right to vote. Since 1980, women have registered to vote and turned out in greater numbers at polls than men. Therefore, the nineteenth amendment was ratified some time before 1980

Answer 1

Let's evaluate the argument provided:

1. Sound: An argument is sound if it is valid (the conclusion logically follows from the premises) and all of its premises are true. In this case, the argument is not sound because the conclusion (that the nineteenth amendment was ratified some time before 1980) is true, but it is not valid because the premises do not necessarily lead to that conclusion.

2. Valid but unsound: An argument is valid if the conclusion logically follows from the premises. This argument can be considered valid if we interpret that it logically implies the timeline, but since the premises don't substantiate the conclusion convincingly, it falls into the unsound category.

3. Invalid: An argument is invalid if the conclusion does not logically follow from the premises.

Given this breakdown, the correct classification of the argument is:

• Valid but Unsound

So, you would drag the argument to the "Valid but Unsound" category.
