Question

Identify the standard form of the argument.
-$ p \rightarrow q $
$ \frac {\sim q }
 {\therefore \sim p} $

A) Fallacy of the Converse
B) Law of Contraposition
C) Law of Syllogism
D) Fallacy of the Inverse

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The argument follows the Law of Contraposition, which states that if $ p \rightarrow q $ is true, then its contrapositive $ \sim q \rightarrow \sim p $ is also true.

Identify the Standard Form of the Argument p→q p \rightarrow q p→q ∼q∴∼p \frac {\sim q } {\therefore \sim p} ∴∼p∼q​
