Arguments by elimination are deductive.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
Arguments by elimination begin with a list of possibilities and eliminate each possibility until only one remains. If all the premises that eliminate possibilities are true, then the remaining option must be the correct one and the conclusion (which asserts this) must be true. In other words, the truth of the premises guarantees the truth of the conclusion (the defining mark of deductively valid arguments).
