    2. What is a statement (proposition)? 3. What is the slippery slope fallacy?

    4. All As are Bs. Some As are Cs. Therefore some Cs are Bs. Assess validity by drawing a Venn diagram. 5. If P, then Q. Not Q. Therefore not P. Is this pattern valid? What is its name?
    6. Give a concrete example of a straw man fallacy.

    7. Can a valid argument be unsound? Explain your answer.

    8. The knowledge argument is an objection to dualism. True or false? 9. Consider the objection from chauvinism (no need to state it). What is it directed

    Two mini-essay questions (25 marks each) 1. Explain briefly what is Dualism, and state the objection you take to be the most serious against this view.
