**10. Write a valid conclusion for each argument**

**A)**  
\[ 
a \leftrightarrow b 
\]  
\[
\sim a 
\]

**B)**  
\[ 
a \rightarrow b 
\]  
\[ 
a 
\]

**C)**  
\[ 
a \land b 
\]  

**Explanation**: 

- **A)** involves a biconditional statement (\(a \leftrightarrow b\)), meaning \(a\) if and only if \(b\), and \(\sim a\) (not \(a\)) indicating that \(a\) is false.
  
- **B)** features an implication (\(a \rightarrow b\)), meaning if \(a\) then \(b\), with \(a\) being true.

- **C)** includes a conjunction (\(a \land b\)), representing \(a\) and \(b\) together. 

In each part, the task is to deduce a logical conclusion based on the given premises.

Expert Solution
Step 1

(a).

For the given argument 

ab~a---

Since the first argument is a is implies and implied by b and the second argument is not a.

Therefore, the final conclusion will be ~b

(b).

The given argument is 

aba---

Here we know a and a is implying b then the final conclusion will be b by using Modus Ponen.
