Question

Given the premises and conclusion:

Premise 1: All cups have handles.
Premise 2: The object is not a cup.
Conclusion: The object does not have a handle.

Disprove the argument by giving a counterexample.

Carrot
Quarter
Tissue
Teapot

Answer 1

I have no clue on this one-

Answer 2

@curriful

Answer 3

Premise 1: All quarters are made out of 90% silver and 10% copper (also known as clad btw :3)
Premise 2: This object is made out of zinc coated with copper. (this is a penny btw)

Conclusion: This object is not a quarter.

it's best to look into the given argument to find a flaw in it before making a responce. In that one it's saying that since it's not a cup, so it doesnt have a handle is false since multiple things can have a handle (i.e pots and pans).
