Formalize the following arguments in Li providing a suitable dictionary. Make your formalization as detailed as possible. If you find an ambiguity in the argument, explain it to justify your choice of formalization. (a) Neil won't complain if he sings. But he doesn't sing. Therefore he will complain. (b) If we are alive, our death is not present and our death is nothing to us. If we are dead, we are not present and our death is nothing to us. So our death is nothing to us, since we are either dead or alive. (c) It's not true that time travel is possible. For if I travel back in time and kill my grandfather, I will be born and unborn. But I will not be born and unborn. And I will travel back in time and kill my grandfather, provided time travel is possible.
