Homework Statement



Textbook exercises 41 to 44 listing premises and a conclusion for each argument, written as propositional logic formulas with lettered steps a through h.


Table 2.3.1 Valid Argument Forms listing rules: Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens, Generalization, Specialization, Conjunction, Elimination, Transitivity, Proof by Division into Cases, and Contradiction Rule, each with its premises above a therefore line.

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't understand the problem. For #41, which are the premises and which are the conclusions?
 
The last line in each problem (with the three dots: ##\therefore##) is the conclusion, the other lines are the premises.
