Problem
I. Consider this list of alternatives: {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday}. Are these alternatives *exhaustive*? Why or why not? Are these alternatives *exclusive*? Why or why not?
II. Why is it improper to criticize an argument by *merely* denying its conclusion? Explain what kinds of criticisms are appropriate (and why) in each of these three cases: (i) you've determined that the argument is *ill-formed*; (ii) you've determined that the argument is *valid*; (iii) you've determined that the argument is *cogent*
III. Clearly explain why validity does not come in degrees, while cogency does come in degrees.
