Question 8.8. Why is this argument not valid?
 If you are having a birthday, you are excited.
 If you are having a party, you are excited. 
Therefore, if you are having a birthday, you are having a party.       

(Points : 5)
       because the first premise is false

       because the second premise is false

       because the conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises

       not enough information is given to tell if the argument is valid or not
