Question 1 (10 marks)
Indicate which of the FOLLOWING FIVE propositions are true and which are
false.
You need only write the word ‘true’ or the word ‘false’ to answer this part. If
you are unsure and want to write a covering remark to explain your choice,
you may do so if you think it will help. (10 marks - two marks for each answer)
(a) The following sentence expresses a proposition.
From our bedroom window, we almost get a 390 degree view.
(b) The following is an argument:
To be really good at shopping you need practice. Also, you
can't really, truly say that you are good at shopping unless
you always manage to buy the stuff you want. Also, you can't
really, truly be good at shopping unless you can also convince
yourself that you really need the stuff you want to buy.
(c) If two different arguments are both valid and if they both have only true
premises, then they must both also have true conclusions.
(d) Every invalid argument is deductive.
(e) The following is a valid argument:
The members of the Act Party who distributed cut-price party
pills during Orientation Week at the University of Auckland
were engaging in a perfectly legal activity. Anybody engaging
in a perfectly legal activity should not be regarded as
behaving inappropriately. So, clearly, those Act Party
Members definitely should not be regarded as behaving
inappropriately.
Question 2 (20 marks)
How good is the argument in Question 1(e) (reprinted below)? (Remember: A
good argument is one which is either (i) deductive and valid with plausible
premises; or (ii) non-deductive and strong with plausible premises.
The members of the Act Party who distributed cut-price party pills
during Orientation Week at the University of Auckland were
engaging in a perfectly legal activity. Anybody engaging in a
perfectly legal activity should not be regarded as behaving
inappropriately. So, clearly, those Act Party Members should not
be regarded as behaving inappropriately.
