Which of the following statements is true?

Correct option is C

The correct statement is "Truth and falsehood are attributes of single propositions." In formal logic:
· A proposition is a declarative sentence that can be either true or false, such as "The sky is blue" (true) or "2 + 2 = 5" (false).
· Truth or falsehood applies exclusively to individual propositions, as they represent factual claims about the world.
Information Booster: · Truth/Falsity: Properties of individual propositions.
· Validity: A property of arguments, determined by whether the conclusion logically follows from the premises.
· Soundness: An argument is sound if it is valid and all its premises are true.
· A proposition like "All swans are white" can be false, but it is still a proposition.
· Logical reasoning depends on understanding these distinctions to evaluate arguments effectively.
Additional Knowledge: · (a) In a valid argument all of its premises have to be true: Confuses validity with soundness. A valid argument ensures that if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true, but the premises themselves do not need to be true for the argument to be valid.
· (b) Validity can be attributed to any single proposition by itself: Validity is relational and applies to the logical structure of an argument involving multiple propositions.
· (d) Truth and falsehood can be attributed to arguments: Misconception. Arguments are evaluated based on validity (logical form) and soundness (truth of premises), not on truth or falsehood.
