I've seen these questions asked today/yesterday (and answered) but I just wanted someone to check over my answers to see if they make sense.

Question

1. Assume that the conclusion of an argument is the claim: It is wrong to inflict suffering on animals. For each of the following premises or linked set of premises state whether the premise or set is positively relevant, negatively relevant or irrelevant to the conclusion. (Worth 2 marks)
(a) It is wrong to inflict suffering on any creature that can experience pain + all animals can experience pain.
-POSITIVELY RELEVANT
(b) Circuses exploit animals for human profit.
IRRELEVANT
(c) Some medical advances for humans can only be achieved at the price of inflicting pain on animals.
-NEGATIVELY RELEVANCE
(d) Under Christian doctrine humans are to be stewards of nature.
-IRRELEVANT

2. In 2004 Z is having a conversation with his friend X and X’s wife Y. Y is a U.S. citizen and a ‘Bushy’ (a supporter of George W. Bush). She is planning on voting for Bush in the upcoming presidential election. Z and X (both are Canadian citizens, not Americans; one liberal and one conservative) are both arguing that Bush is not the best choice for President (primarily on the basis that Bush is an ‘unreflective’ man and that such a man should not occupy the most powerful executive office in the world). After listening to the supporting evidence offered by Z and X, Y responds to their argument as follows: “You’re not Americans, [therefore] your opinions don’t count.”
There is a hidden premise in Y’s argument and an ambiguity regarding what does not count. One interpretation of Y’s argument is as follows:
P1. You’re not Americans
P2. Only American opinions have value
MC. Therefore, your opinions don’t count
This interpretation of the argument is obviously weak as Premise 2 is unacceptable by observation (recall Assignment 4).
There is another plausible interpretation of what Y means by ‘opinions not counting’ that raises an entirely different problem for the argument. You must provide that alternative as the hidden premise and identify the problem that this alternative interpretation of Y’s argument raises. (Worth 2 marks)

6. An inference is a move from a reason or reasons to a conclusion. For each of the following inferences to the main conclusion, state whether the inference to the main conclusion is deductively valid or deductively invalid. Note that you are not being asked to assess inductive validity, premise acceptability or the soundness of the arguments! (Worth 4 marks)

I know it's long, but I would appreciate the help! I tried formatting it the best I could!
