Test the validity of the argument. Tell and show why the argument is valid or invalid.Either I went to the doctor or I went to the dentist. If I went to the dentist, I had a tooth removed. I did not have a tooth removed. Therefore, I went to the doctor.

What will be an ideal response?


Letp = "I went to the doctor"
 q = "I went to the dentist"
 r = "I had a tooth removed" 

1.p ? qHypothesis
2.q ? rHypothesis
3.~rHypothesis
4.~qModus Tollens (2, 3)
5.pDisjunctive Syllogism (1, 4)
The argument is valid.
