Determine whether the following passages are arguments or not. In those that are, underline the conclusion and tell whether the argument is deductive or inductive, and state character or form. If deductive, tell whether it’s valid or invalid, and sound or unsound. If inductive, tell whether it’s strong or weak, and cogent or uncogent.


Q:The Eiffel Tower is in London. London is in Germany. Germany is in Africa. Therefore, the Eiffel Tower is in Africa.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The conclusion is : the Eiffel Tower is in Africa

It's deductive reasoning and it's invalid

Explanation:

A conclusion is usually a summary of the text, and generally at the end of a paragraph, essay etc.

It's deductive as inductive reasoning uses data to deduce a pattern and draw a conclusion, deductive uses facts, as they did here ,  even though the facts are wrong.  The Eiffel tower is in France, London is in the UK,  and Germany is in Europe.
