-Use the rules of inference and the laws of propositional logic to prove that each argument is valid. Number each line of your argument and label each line of your proof "Hypothesis" or with the name of the rule of inference used at that line. If a rule of inference is used, then include the numbers of the previous lines to which the rule is applied. For the arguments stated in English, transform them into propositional logic first. a) (10...

Phil-Formal Logic: Translate the premises and conclusion into the symbols of propositional logic. Construct a truth table in which you analyze the argument for validity. You can construct a truth a table by inserting a table into a Microsoft Word document (from the INSERT option in Word, choose “table.” You will then have an opportunity to choose how many rows and columns you would like your table to be.) Is your argument valid or invalid? If valid, say why it...
