A. Slippery slope
B. Ad hominem
C. Straw man
D. Circular reasoning
Answer: Assuming self-driving cars will eliminate all truck driving jobs is a slippery slope.
A. Statements 1-4 are true
B. Statements 2-5 are true
C. Cannot determine
D. All statements are true
Answer: If 1 is true, all are true by the chain. If 1 is false, we need 4 true from 2-5, but 2→3→4→5 means if any earlier is true, all later are true. So the only way to have 4 true is 1-4 true and 5 false, but 4→5 means 5 would be true. Contradiction. Actually, if exactly 4 are true, the only possibility is 1-4 true, but 4→5 means 5 is true, making 5 true. Contradiction. So this is impossible.
A. All professors ensure quality
B. Some professors may ensure quality
C. No professors ensure quality
D. All quality comes from professors
Answer: Some professors have PhDs, some PhD holders publish papers, which require peer review, which ensures quality.
A. ML improves diagnostics
B. Diagnostics save lives
C. Hospitals should adopt ML
D. ML is accurate
Answer: The recommendation for hospitals to adopt ML tools is the conclusion.
A. A is true
B. F is true
C. Contradiction
D. A and F are false
Answer: Equivalence means all must have the same truth value. Having exactly 3 true is impossible.
A. Consistent
B. Contradiction
C. P is false
D. Q is false
Answer: If all three are true, the implications are satisfied: P∧Q→R (T∧T→T), P∧R→Q (T∧T→T), Q∧R→P (T∧T→T).
A. Quantum computers simulate molecules
B. Simulation accelerates discovery
C. Drug discovery needs acceleration
D. All of the above
Answer: For the argument to hold, all these assumptions must be true.
A. P is true
B. P is false
C. P is unknown
D. All are true
Answer: X being true doesn\'t prove P is true. The chain could have been triggered by other causes.
A. VR is immersive
B. Immersion improves learning
C. Traditional education has social benefits
D. VR is becoming affordable
Answer: If traditional education provides social benefits that VR doesn\'t, immersion alone may not justify replacement.
A. A is true
B. B is true
C. Contradiction
D. E is false
Answer: The cycle means if any one is true, all are true. Having exactly 2 true is impossible.
A. All machine learning enables predictions
B. Some machine learning may enable predictions
C. No machine learning enables predictions
D. All predictions come from machine learning
Answer: We can only conclude that some machine learning may enable predictions.
A. Blockchain ensures transparency
B. Transparency reduces corruption
C. Governments should use blockchain
D. Corruption is bad
Answer: The recommendation for governments to use blockchain is the conclusion.
A. Statement 1 is true
B. Statement 2 is true
C. Statement 3 is true
D. Cannot determine
Answer: If 1 is true, all are true (3 true, contradiction). So 1 is false. If 2 is true, 3 is true (2 true). If 2 is false, only 3 could be true (1 true, contradiction). So 2 and 3 are true, 1 is false.
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. E
Answer: A>B>C>D>E, so E is the youngest.
A. Decentralization is valuable
B. Decentralization causes volatility
C. Future depends on stability
D. Cryptocurrency is innovative
Answer: If decentralization causes volatility, it may hinder cryptocurrency\'s adoption as a stable future currency.
A. A is true
B. B is true
C. C is true
D. Contradiction
Answer: Equivalence means all must have the same truth value. Having exactly 1 true is impossible.
A. R is true
B. R is false
C. R is unknown
D. P is false
Answer: P∧Q→R and Q is false means P∧Q is false, so R can be anything. But P∧R→Q and Q is false means P∧R is false. Since P is true, R must be false.
A. AI can optimize energy
B. Optimization reduces emissions
C. Emission reduction solves climate change
D. All of the above
Answer: For the argument to hold, all these assumptions must be true.
A. All are false
B. Q is true
C. R is true
D. Cannot determine
Answer: If P is false and they form a cycle, all must be false by modus tollens.
