For the following argument, do three things: (1) identify the propositions involved, assigning them symbols; (2) set the argument out in standard form either as a hypothetical or a disjunctive syllogism; and (3) say whether it is valid or not, indicating what type of argument it is: denying the necessary condition, affirming the disjunct, etc. If there is a missing premise or conclusion, complete the argument, if possible, to make it come out valid. (2 points for the symbolization, 4 points for standard form, 4 points for the evaluation, 10 points total) We should raise tariffs, sure, if it won’t ruin the economy. But, as it is in fact ruining the economy, we shouldn’t raise tariffs.
