1. Is the following a valid argument or fallacy? If it is Sunday, then the store
is closed. The store is closed. Therefore, it is Sunday. You must explain
your answer.
2. Name the argument form of the following argument: Dogs eat meat. Fluffy
does not eat meat. Therefore, Fluffy is not a dog.
3. Prove directly that the product of an even and an odd number is even.
4. Prove by contraposition for an arbitrary integer n that if n
2 is even, then n is even.
5. Prove that there is a positive integer n that satisfies 2n + 1 ≥ 33. Do
not overthink this problem. Do not write more than logically necessary to
prove existence.

1. Formalize the following argument by using the given predicates and then rewriting the argument as a numbered sequence of statements. Identify each statement as either a premise, or a conclusion that follows according to a rule of inference from previous statements. In that case, state the rule of inference and refer by number to the previous statements that the rule of inference used.Lions hunt antelopes. Ramses is a lion. Ramses does not hunt Sylvester.

1. You are given a C file which contains a partially completed
program. Follow the instructions contained in comments and complete
the required functions. You will be rewriting four functions from
HW03 (initializeStrings, printStrings, encryptStrings,
decryptStrings) using only pointer operations instead of using
array operations. In addition to this, you will be writing two new
functions (printReversedString, isValidPassword). You should not be
using any array operations in any of functions for this assignment.
You may use only the strlen() function...
