Help me please 1. For the following argument, which statement is a premise? Argument: Any three points that are noncollinear define a plane. Points P, Q, and R are noncollinear. Therefore, points P, Q, and R define a plane. (Points : 1) Any two points define a line. Points P, Q, and R are noncollinear. Points P, Q, and R define a plane. Every plane is flat. I think the answer is C

a premise is a statement of the argument. There are several premises in this argument - "Any three points that are noncollinear define a plane" is one premise, and "points P, Q, and R are noncollinear" is another premise. The conclusion is the last sentence. So yes C would match it since it is saying that these 3 noncollinear points define a definite plane

Wait nevermind that is the conclusion not a premise. So the answer is actually B since that is a prmise
