Use truth tables to show that the argument forms referred to in 13-21 are valid. Indicate which columns represent the premises and which represent the conclusion, and include a sentence explaining how the truth table supports your answer. Your explanation should show that you understand what it means for a form of argument to be valid. 13. Modus Tollens c: p V q p: p V q ~r: p V q - r
