    This document provides examples of applying various logical rules and fallacies to arguments with conditional ("if-then") statements. It tests the ability to identify the logical form of arguments, determine which rules are needed to derive conclusions, and recognize when an argument commits a fallacy. The document focuses on rules like modus ponens, universal instantiation, existential instantiation, and identifying fallacies such as affirming the consequent or denying the hypothesis.
