Answer 5

So the question is asking you to evaluate whether the argument
A => B
is a valid argument.

Such an argument is valid when either:
- if A is true and B is true
- if A is false and B is false
- if A is false and B is true.

That is, the only case when the argument A => B is an invalid argument, i.e., a false argument, is when A is true and B is false.

In this case A is the statement
A = "North Carolina is south of Florida"
and
B = "the capital of Ohio is Columbus"

The question is asking, for these values of A and B, is A => B a valid argument?

Well A is false and B is true, so A => B is a valid argument.
