Validity, Soundness, Strength, Cogency - PracticeArguments 2
Determine whether each of the following arguments is a deductiveargument or an inductive argument. If the argument is a deductiveargument, then evaluate the argument for its validity andsoundness. If the argument is an inductive argument, then evaluatethe argument for its strength and cogency. Use the selection listsbeneath each argument to indicate your answers.
Argument A
An aardvark is (deductive/inductive) ,(valid/invalid/strong/weak) , and (sound/unsound/cogent/uncogent).
Argument B
Since there is significantly less oxygen on the top of Mt.Everest than at lower elevations, it follows that many mountaineerswho attempt to climb Mt. Everest bring tanks of oxygen along duringtheir attempts.
Argument B is (deductive/inductive)  ,  (valid/invalid/strong/weak)   ,and (sound/unsound/cogent/uncogent)  .
Argument C
Since the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., has the shapeof a spherical globe, it follows that it has a uniform radiusaround the sphere's center.
Argument C is (deductive/inductive)  ,  (valid/invalid/strong/weak)   ,and (sound/unsound/cogent/uncogent)  .
