Explanation The argument form referred in the said example is of “Generalisation”. The first argument for the Generalisation can be written as p ∴ p ∨ q Here, p is the premise and p ∨ q , is the conclusion. The truth table has been prepared as below, the table is obtained by considering the four possible combinations of truth values for p and q as provided at column 1 & 2 of the truth table respectively. The truth values for the only premise statement has been placed in columns three providing “p” and the same have been shown in the table. The fourth column represents the truth values of the conclusion i.e. “p or q”. It can be seen from the truth table that there are two situations/ rows where the premise statement is true and hence the first two rows, become the CRITICAL ROWS . Premise Conclusion
