In the following argument, there are ________ premises (including subconclusions) that should be diagrammed: "If souls die, they must die either by decomposing or by annihilation. But what is not composed cannot decompose. And souls are not composed. Therefore souls cannot decompose. And nothing is annihilated as a whole. Therefore souls are not annihilated as a whole. Thus souls do not die either by decomposition or annihilation. Thus souls do not die." (Peter Kreeft and Ronald K. Tacelli, Handbook of Christian Apologetics)
