Use your knowledge of arguments and the different types of nonarguments to determine which, if any, of the following sentences are true. Check all that apply.
The purpose of an expository passage is to prove that the topic sentence is true.
If an explanandum is an accepted matter of fact, then the explanation of which it is a part is not usually an argument.
Whether the premise(s) provide adequate support for a conclusion is an objective quality of an argument.
Deciding whether a factual claim is true usually falls outside the domain of logic.
A factual claim is the same as an inferential claim.
Indicator words such as "therefore" and "since" are not required to have an argument.
The antecedent of an "if... then..." statement follows the word "then."
A conditional statement expresses a factual claim but not an inferential claim.
For every statement that expresses a necessary condition, there is an equivalent statement that expresses a sufficient condition.
If a piece of advice is beneficial, then it is an argument.
