Philosophy 105-940, Fall 2016-17, Quiz #5. Covers: Textbook, Chapter 5; also (in Additional Materials folder on BB): \u201cRules of Inference\u201d and \u201cValidity.<\/h2>\n

Directions: In each of the following arguments, you are given only the premises (but all the premises). Your task is to provide the conclusion. Type out the full, accurate conclusion as a [one] grammatically correct sentence. When adding the conclusion, your goal is to create a complete argument that is a valid deductive argument. That\u2019s the point, and that\u2019s the skill being tested. Knowing the \u201crules of inference\u201d on BB will be helpful. There are 5 questions. Each is worth 4 points, total 20 points. There is one extra-credit question, worth 4 points. <\/p>\n

1. I finally discovered the mystery of why hard beds are good for you. Here\u2019s the story: If you have a hard bed, then you cannot stay comfortable for long periods, and when you can\u2019t stay comfortable for long periods you roll around a lot. If you roll around a lot, then your joints don\u2019t ache from being in one position too long. Let\u2019s also assume that your joints do ache in the morning from sleeping too long in one position. It follows that?.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/p>\n

2. If a colored paper flyer is on one of the bulletin boards, then it was approved by the Associated Students, and that yellow paper flyer was approved. Hence?.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/p>\n

3. If she can play the tuba, then she can play the bassoon. And if she can play the bassoon, then she can play the French horn. We may also assume that she can play the tuba. So, ?.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/p>\n

4. If we don\u2019t see the movie tonight, we won\u2019t be able to talk about it in class. And if we won\u2019t be able to talk about it in class, we won\u2019t make Ms. Schmidt happy. Let\u2019s not see the movie tonight. That way, \u2026.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/p>\n

5. It\u2019s easy to do logic if you think logically. Fortunately, doing logic is easy for me, so?.. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/p>\n

6. Extra credit (+4 points available, 2 points each part). <\/p>\n

TASK #2: You are given a bunch of randomly selected arguments, without their premises (only their conclusions), and you are asked to provide the missing premise(s) for each argument.<\/p>\n
