Determine the truth of the premises, discuss the strength of the argument, and assess the truth of the conclusion.Premise: I get lower grades than my best friend in math, chemistry, and English.Conclusion: My friend is smarter than I am.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may vary. Possible answer: Since the example is fictitious, there is no way to determine the truth of the premise. The argument is weak. Perhaps my friend studies harder than I do, perhaps my friend cheats in his classes, or perhaps I get higher grades in biology, history, and art. Moreover, academic smarts are only one measure of intelligence. Since the example is fictitious, there is no way to assess the truth of the conclusion.
