Questions and Answers

Given the premise 'If it is raining, then the ground is wet' and the fact 'It is raining', what is the most accurate conclusion using Modus Ponens?

  • There is insufficient data.
  • The ground might be wet.
  • The ground is not wet.
  • The ground is definitely wet. (correct)

    • In the context of deductive reasoning, if the original premise 'If it is raining, then the ground is wet' were false, and 'it is raining' is true, what does that imply about the conclusion?

  • The conclusion will still be that 'the ground is wet' due to Modus Ponens.
  • The validity of the conclusion relies on the accuracy of the premise not just the second fact. (correct)
  • The conclusion might be true but it can't be derived from Modus Ponens anymore.
  • The ground is still definitely wet due to the affirmation of the second premise.

    • Suppose the second premise 'It is raining' was not known, and all we have is 'If it is raining, then the ground is wet', what can be correctly inferred?

  • The ground is definitely not wet.
  • The ground may or may not be wet. (correct)
  • The ground is wet.
  • It is not raining.

    • Given the structure of Modus Ponens, identify the logical role played by the statement 'It is raining'.
