Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.Your argument is valid, but it isn't sound.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Makes sense. An argument is valid if its conclusion follows necessarily from its premises, regardless of the truth of its premises or conclusions. An argument is sound if it is valid and its premises are all true. Many valid arguments have false premises and are thus not sound. For example:
Premise: When I close my eyes, I become invisible.
Premise: When I am invisible, I can speak Portugese.
Conclusion: When I close my eyes, I can speak Portugese.
The argument is valid, but its premises are clearly false so it isn't sound. (Explanations will vary.)
