1Formal Logic:
-Reasoning in the abstract
-Mostly [blank_start]deductive[blank_end]
-Concentrates on understanding the [blank_start]form[blank_end] of an argument
-Can be analyzed using [blank_start]symbols[blank_end]- Adeductive
- Binductive
- Cform
- Dtype
- Emain point
- Fsymbols
- Gordinary-language arguments
- Hreasoning
- Idescriptive
- Jdetailed
- Kcontent
2Select the following qualities of Inductive Logic:
- Adeals with probability
- Bdeals with certainty
- Cstarts with observations (used as evidence)
- Devaluated as either strong or weak
- Estarts with given propositions or axioms
- Fevaluated as either valid or invalid
3Informal Logic is characterized by:
- Adeductive reasoning
- Binductive reasoning
- Cordinary-language arguments
- Dreasoning in the abstract
- Econcentrates on the content of an argument
- Fcan be analyzed using symbols
4Select the following qualities of Deductive Logic:
- Astarts with observations (used as evidence)
- Bdeals with certainty (given the premises)
- Cevaluated as either valid or invalid
- Devaluated as either strong or weak
- Estarts with given propositions or axioms
5[blank_start]Evidence[blank_end] is defined as the facts used to support a conclusion or hypothesis.
- AEvidence
6Inductive reasoning tends to start with [blank_start]evidence[blank_end] that we can [blank_start]observe[blank_end] and compile. It often works toward [blank_start]generalizations[blank_end] that are reasonably accurate with more or less [blank_start]probability[blank_end]. This means that inductive reasoning does not lend itself to absolute [blank_start]certainty[blank_end].
- Aevidence
- Bobserve
- Cgeneralizations
- Dprobability
- Ecertainty
7Which of the following's basic building block is a category of things called a term, which are connected by the being verb?
- Apropositional logic
- Bdeductive logic
- Cargument
- Dcategorical logic
- Elogical operator
8In propositional logic, the basic building block is a statement called a [blank_start]proposition[blank_end], which are connected by [blank_start]logical[blank_end] [blank_start]operators[blank_end].
- Aproposition
- Blogical
- Coperators
9Deductive arguments are evaluated as either [blank_start]valid[blank_end] or [blank_start]invalid[blank_end], and inductive arguments are evaluated as either [blank_start]strong[blank_end] or [blank_start]weak[blank_end].
- Avalid
- Binvalid
- Cstrong
- Dweak
10While the basic building block in categorical logic is an individual word called a [blank_start]term[blank_end], which represents a basic category of things, the basic building block of propositional logic is an entire sentence, called a [blank_start]proposition[blank_end].
- Aterm
- Bproposition
11You could say that categorical logic is like the [blank_start]high[blank_end] magnification setting on a microscope because it allows you to examine things in [blank_start]detail[blank_end]. On the other hand, you could say that propositional logic is like the [blank_start]low[blank_end] magnification setting on a microscope because it allows you to examine things from a [blank_start]distance[blank_end].
- Ahigh
- Bdetail
- Clow
- Ddistance
12The three acts of the mind are:
1) [blank_start]simple[blank_end] [blank_start]apprehension[blank_end]
2) [blank_start]judgement[blank_end]
3) [blank_start]inference[blank_end]- Asimple
- Bapprehension
- Cjudgement
- Dinference
13When we think about a relationship between two terms, we make a [blank_start]judgement[blank_end].
- Ajudgement
14We make an [blank_start]inference[blank_end] when, after making judgement propositions, we conclude that yet another proposition necessarily follows from the first ones.
- Ainference
15[blank_start]Simple[blank_end] [blank_start]apprehension[blank_end] occurs when we put things into groups, classes, or categories in our minds.
- Aapprehension
- BSimple
16Categorical form is the [blank_start]arrangement[blank_end] of [blank_start]terms[blank_end] and words in a [blank_start]proposition[blank_end] so that the proposition either [blank_start]affirms[blank_end] or [blank_start]negates[blank_end] something about a specific topic.
- Aarrangement
- Bterms
- Caffirms
- Dnegates
- Eproposition
17whether or not the sentence can be said to be true or false (necessary to be a proposition)
- Aaffirmo and nego
- Btruth
- Ctruth-value
- Dsyllogism
18The following sentence is a proposition: Is abortion illegal in the United States?
- ATrue
- BFalse
19The following sentence is a proposition: Wise people speak few words.
- ATrue
- BFalse
20The following sentence is a proposition: I hate popcorn; it's so gross.

23"therefore"
