Question

So, even though these bananas are from Ecuador, they won’t be sweet because they’re still unripe.This argument is:Group of answer choicesDeductive and invalidNon-deductive and weakNon-deductive and strongDeductive and valid
Solution
The argument is Deductive and valid.
Here's why:
A deductive argument is one where if the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true. In this case, the premises are:
- Bananas from Ecuador are famous for being sweet.
- Regardless of where they are from, unripe bananas always taste like wet cardboard.
From these two premises, the conclusion is drawn that even though these bananas are from Ecuador, they won’t be sweet because they’re still unripe. This conclusion follows logically from the premises, making the argument deductive.
The argument is also valid because the conclusion follows logically from the premises. If it's true that all unripe bananas taste like wet cardboard (regardless of where they're from), and the bananas in question are unripe, then it must be true that these bananas won't be sweet.
