I love analytical skills. Its mind intriguing. Fun........


Try this one:
What is the hidden assumption in the following arguments?
Provided a fetus is a person, it has a right to life.
If abortions are moral, someone does have a right to take the life of a fetus.
If a fetus is a person, abortions are immoral.

a) abortion is murder and murder is immoral
b) if someone has a right to take the life of a fetus, then abortion is not immoral
c) a fetus has a right to life only if no one has a right to take its life
d) abortion is not immoral unless the fetus has a right to life


The choices of answers sounds like an argument themselves. Haha.


Easier one: What can validly be inferred form the following statements?
A) If a word is a name, then every sentence is a list.
B) Lists do not have truth values.
C) Some sentences have truth values.

a) some words are names
b) some words are not names
c)no sentences are lists
d) nothing can be inferred

I think angmohs have a better sense of humour..
Their jokes aren't exactly offensive(unlike some singaporean jokes)..in fact. they're super funny.
