1. Remember that a valid argument could be defined as an argument in which its
premises are enough to support its conclusion definitely.

That means that if there is room for another reason other than the ones stated in the
premises of the argument to support the conclusion (if the conclusion could be true
for another reason other than the ones stated in the premises), then the argument is
invalid.

Using the previous definitions of validity, consider the following argumentative

structures. Provide one example per structure, and explain whether your examples
are valid or invalid.
