Explanation

Argument is defined as a set of statements in which a claim, the conclusion, is defended by a reason, the premise.

A strong inductive argument is one whose conclusion follows probably from its premises.

An unsound argument is a deductive one that is either invalid or has at least one false premise.

A weak inductive argument is one whose conclusion does not follow probably from its premises.

Matching each concept to its own defining feature fixes the correspondence.
