Which of the following can be defined as a group of statements that share a common conclusion?
AProposition
BArgument ✓ Correct
CConcept
DFallacy
Correct answer: (B) Argument
Explanation
A group of statements sharing a common conclusion, with some serving as support, is an argument.
The several premises are put forward together to establish a single conclusion.
What binds them is the inferential claim that they jointly back that conclusion.
A lone proposition or a bare concept lacks this supporting structure.
A set of statements organised around one conclusion is by definition an argument.
