Expert Solution

Step 1

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three subparts for you. To get the remaining sub-parts solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts.

$If it' s on the FAMU campus then it is in Florida If it' s in Tallahassee then it' s in Florida If it' s on the FAMU campus then it' s in Tallahassee$

Suppose that the premises are true and the conclusion is false.

From the premises, we can deduce that if it's on the FAMU campus then it need not be in Tallahassee. Hence, our assumption that the conclusion is false is indeed true. Since we haven't obtained any contradiction, the given argument is invalid.

And we know that any invalid argument is unsound. Hence, the given argument is unsound.

Therefore, the given argument is invalid and unsound.
