Easy
Valid arguments guarantee that if the premises are true, the conclusion is also true.
Sometimes true
False
True
Cannot determine
Validity of an argument means that the structure ensures a true conclusion if the premises are true. Therefore this statement correctly describes valid arguments.
An argument with false premises but valid logical form is considered unsound.
Only sometimes
Cannot determine
True
False
An argument is unsound if it has any false premises or is invalid. Validity concerns form, while soundness requires both form and true premises, so this statement is true.
Sound arguments must have at least one false premise.
False
True
Only if they're invalid
Cannot determine
Sound arguments are both valid in structure and have all true premises. Since sound arguments cannot have false premises, this statement is false.
If an argument is invalid, its conclusion cannot be true.
Cannot determine
False
True
Only if premises are true
Invalidity means the conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises, but the conclusion may still be true by coincidence. Hence the statement is false.
Empirical evidence is based on observation or experimentation.
Only on logic
True
Only on authority
False
Empirical evidence relies on sensory observation or experimental data rather than purely on logical deduction or authority. This statement accurately defines empirical evidence.
Medium
Attacking the character of the opponent instead of addressing their argument is known as which logical fallacy?
Appeal to authority
Ad hominem
Slippery slope
Straw man
An ad hominem fallacy targets the person making the argument rather than the argument itself. This distinguishes it from other fallacies that misrepresent or divert from the argument.
The burden of proof in evaluating a claim lies primarily with which party?
The person making the claim
The person questioning the claim
A neutral observer
Both equally
In critical thinking, the burden of proof rests on the claimant to provide evidence for their assertion. Questioners are not required to disprove unsupported assertions.
Selective presentation of evidence that supports a conclusion while ignoring contrary data is called what?
Red herring
False dilemma
Hasty generalization
Cherry picking
Cherry picking involves focusing on favorable data while omitting unfavorable information. This selective bias distorts the overall evidence.
A statement is considered falsifiable if it can be proven false by what means?
Personal belief
Observation or experiment
Authority citation
Logical deduction
Falsifiability means that a claim can be tested and potentially shown false through empirical methods. Logical deduction or authority do not satisfy this empirical criterion.
Which logical fallacy assumes that correlation implies causation?
Begging the question
False cause
Circular reasoning
Ad hominem
The false cause fallacy (post hoc ergo propter hoc) wrongly infers that because events coincide, one must cause the other. It conflates correlation with causation.
Which best defines a necessary condition for an event?
A condition that must be present for the event to occur
An event that causes the condition
A condition that alone guarantees the event
A condition that is always sufficient
A necessary condition is something required for the event to happen but does not guarantee it by itself. Distinguishing necessity from sufficiency is crucial in logic.
What fallacy occurs when the conclusion is assumed in the premises?
Begging the question
Straw man
Slippery slope
False dichotomy
Begging the question is circular reasoning where the argument's conclusion is presupposed in its premises. This fallacy fails to provide independent support for the conclusion.
Which factor least affects the credibility of a source when evaluating factual claims?
Author's expertise
Publication date
Author's handwriting style
Cited evidence quality
Handwriting style has no bearing on the reliability of the content. Credibility is influenced by factors like date, evidence quality, and the author's credentials.
What term refers to verifying a statement by cross-checking with independent sources?
Justification
Authentication
Corroboration
Simplification
Corroboration involves confirming information through multiple independent sources. This process strengthens confidence in the statement's validity.
In Boolean logic, which operation does the term 'conjunction' represent?
IF...THEN
OR
NOT
AND
Conjunction corresponds to the logical AND operation, which is true only when both operands are true. Other operations represent different logical connectives.
Hard
Given the premises 'All mammals are warm-blooded' and 'All whales are mammals', which conclusion is valid?
All warm-blooded animals are whales
No whales are warm-blooded
All whales are warm-blooded
Some whales are mammals
By syllogistic logic, if all A are B and all C are A, then all C are B. Hence all whales (C) are warm-blooded (B).
Which pair of statements are logically equivalent?
'P or Q' and 'If not P then Q'
'If P then Q' and 'Not Q then not P'
'If P then Q' and 'If Q then P'
'P and Q' and 'Not P or not Q'
A conditional statement is equivalent to its contrapositive, 'If not Q then not P'. Other pairs do not maintain equivalence.
Identify the fallacy: 'If we allow students to redo assignments, next they will expect to retake exams and demand grade inflation.'
Appeal to fear
Slippery slope
Ad hominem
False dilemma
This argument suggests without proof that one action will lead to extreme outcomes, characteristic of a slippery slope fallacy. It lacks transitional evidence.
Which of the following is an example of a hasty generalization?
After several students dropped out for different reasons, concluding dropouts have various causes.
After testing multiple metals conduct electricity, concluding metals are good conductors.
After tasting five apples, concluding apples are usually sweet.
After one student dropped out, concluding the entire school has poor teaching.
Hasty generalization occurs when a broad conclusion is drawn from a single or limited example, such as judging the entire school's teaching based on one dropout. The other options involve multiple observations or reasonable inference, not a single insufficient case.
What is the contrapositive of 'If it rains, the ground gets wet'?
If the ground is not wet, then it did not rain
If it rains, the ground does not get wet
If the ground gets wet, then it rains
If it does not rain, the ground is not wet
The contrapositive of 'If P then Q' is 'If not Q then not P'. This maintains logical equivalence. The other options are incorrect transformations.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Understand the Structure of True/False Questions - True/false items often hide clues in their phrasing, so getting familiar with the building blocks will help you catch tricks and avoid second-guessing yourself. Think of it as learning the "grammar" of these questions - once you know the patterns, you'll decode them in a flash! Radiographics article
  2. Identify Absolute Language - Words like "always," "never," or "every" tend to be red flags, because most statements in life have exceptions. When you spot these absolutes, pause and ask yourself if there's any wiggle room - often there is! Learning Mole tips
  3. Recognize Double Negatives - Double negatives can twist your brain into knots and make you miss the real meaning of a statement. Break them down piece by piece or rewrite them in positive form to make sure you're not tricked by hidden negations. Palomar strategies
  4. Analyze for Logical Consistency - A solid true/false statement should align perfectly with what you know from class or reliable sources. If something feels off - like mixing apples with oranges - question it and test its logic before choosing your answer. Journalia blog
  5. Beware of Qualifiers - Qualifiers such as "often," "sometimes," or "rarely" can flip a statement's truth value on its head. Treat these words like spice: a dash can change the whole flavor, so consider their impact carefully! Learning Mole
  6. Develop Critical Thinking Skills - Sharpening your critical thinking is like upgrading your mental toolbox - you'll spot hidden assumptions and weigh evidence more effectively. Practice questioning everything and you'll gain the confidence to tackle any statement. KNBBS guide
  7. Practice Justifying Your Answers - Don't just pick true or false - back up your choice with a quick rationale in your mind (or on scratch paper). This habit cements your reasoning and helps you remember the logic for future questions. K20 Center resource
  8. Understand Common Logical Fallacies - Fallacies like "straw man" or "appeal to authority" often sneak into statements to derail your judgment. Learning to spot these reasoning errors can save you from choosing the wrong answer. JSTOR blog
  9. Be Aware of Cognitive Biases - We all have bias shortcuts - like favoring info that confirms our beliefs - that can cloud our true/false decisions. Recognizing these mental traps helps you stay objective and score higher. JSTOR insights
  10. Review Reliable Sources - When in doubt, double-check facts against reputable studies or textbooks. Building a go-to library of trustworthy resources will boost your confidence and accuracy. Radiographics study
