Question 1 Ch 8

General Statements and Invalid Forms.

General Statements or claims are just claims that aren't really saying anything. It's like if i said, "All green foods are vegetables. Green Jello is a vegetable." It doesn't make sense that jello would be a vegetable but it might be green. General Statements are just sayings that might not prove anything. "Apple a day keeps the doctor away." To be more accurate it should say "eat healthy, work out, and don't do unhealthy habits to keep the doctor away", but the point is we say many of these every single day and we don't stop to correct our selves. Invalid forms would be like the first statement about the green jello. it doesn't make any sense and would be impossible to be true, so it is not valid or invalid. So that is a wrap up of General Statements and Invalid Forms I hope that helps out.
