statement to form a valid conclusion? If it is snowing heavily, then school

will be canceled. If school is canceled, the big test will not be given today. It

is snowing heavily, then... The big test will not be given today.

3. Which statement is a valid conclusion based on the argument? If a

polygon is a regular pentagon, then the polygon has exactly five congruent

angles. The polygon is a regular pentagon. Therefore, the polygon has

exactly five congruent angles.
