1. Unless rock sample X comes from Venus, then it does not contain silicon. Rock sample X
came either from Mars or Venus. Research shows that rock sample X contains silicon. So,
rock sample X came from Mars.
2. It is impossible for people to achieve happiness without a lot of money. And people must
work hard in order to earn a lot of money. Mary has a lot of money. Therefore, Mary

Sample
All students who graduate from universities must be able to write good academic papers. A
student must have an adequate command of English in order to write good academic papers,
Unless you study English hard, you definitely cannot achieve an adequate command of English.
Therefore, those who graduate from universities must have studied English hard.
Marking scheme:
1. Correct answer about "valid" or "invalid" (1%)
2. Correct identification of pattern (1.5%)
Answer:
1. Valid
2. Pattern:
P: graduate from universities
Q: write good academic papers
R: adequate command of English
S: study English hard
a. (If P then Q)
b. (If Q then R)
c. (If not S then not R; or if R then S)
d. Therefore, (If P then S)
Explanation: This argument has a pattern of hypothetical syllogism (if P then Q, if Q then Rand
If R then S, therefore, If P then S).​

1. Valid. The statement shows that if rock comes from Venus, it doesn't contain silicon. Rocks came either Mars or Venus. SO when rock contains silicon, it came from Mars not Venus.

(If Venus, then NOT silicon)

(Venus OR Mars)

(Silicon)

(Mars; Valid)

2. Invalid. It is not true that people with happiness must have a lot of money. The first premise is a false premise. Secondly, it is not true that people earn a lot of money with hard working. The second premise is also a false premise. Therefore this is an invalid statement.

Hope this help you

Answer:

1. Valid.

2. Invalid.

Read this excerpt: "Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity."
