a.b.The following is an utterance from the Oracle at Delphi:More than one of the triumvirate will be assassinated.Crassus will be assassinated and either Caesar will not be assassinated or Pompey willbe assassinated, if and only if, Pompey will not be assassinated and either Crassus orCaesar will be assassinated.Assume these constituent propositions:Ca : Caesar will be assassinatedCr: Crasus wil be assassinatedP: Pompey will be assassinatedthe second sentence can be formalized thus:Provide a formalization of the first sentence, "More than one of the triumvirate will beassassinated," using the propositional constituents identified.Construct a truth table to determine who will be assassinated. Be sure to explain how thetruth table helps you answer this question.

6. Use a truth table to determine whether the following argument form is valid. Indicate which columns represent the premises and which represent the conclusion, and include a sentence explaining how the truth table supports your answer. Your explanation should show that you understand what is means for a form of argument to be valid or invalid. Argument form: P→ r q→ r ..pvqr
