Question



Which of the following statements are true?
A. Validity can never apply to any single proposition by itself.
B. The concept of truth can apply to single propositions.
C. Propositions by themselves can be valid but not invalid.
D. Proposition cannot be valid by itself though it can be invalid on it own.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A.

D only

B.

A and B only

C.

B and C only

D.

B and D only

Correct option is B


The correct statements are A and B:
· A. Validity can never apply to any single proposition by itself: This is true because validity applies to arguments or reasoning, not to individual propositions. A proposition alone can be true or false, but validity concerns the logical structure of an argument.
· B. The concept of truth can apply to single propositions: This is also true since a proposition can independently be true or false, depending on the facts or reality it represents.
Information Booster:
· Truth applies to propositions based on factual accuracy.
· Validity applies to the logical structure of arguments, ensuring that if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true.
· Propositions can be individually true or false but not valid or invalid.
· The distinction between truth and validity is essential in logic and reasoning.
Additional Information:
· C. Propositions by themselves can be valid but not invalid: This statement is incorrect because validity refers to the logical structure of an argument, not to individual propositions. Propositions are either true or false, but they cannot be valid or invalid. Validity is a property of a complete argument where the conclusion logically follows from the premises.
· D. Proposition cannot be valid by itself though it can be invalid on its own: This is also incorrect. Propositions cannot be valid or invalid because validity is a concept related to the logical form of an argument, not individual statements. Propositions can be true or false, but invalidity only applies to arguments, not to propositions alone.
