Use a truth table to determine whether the symbolic form of the argument is valid or invalid. $$ \begin{aligned} &(p \rightarrow q) \wedge(q \rightarrow p) \\ &\frac{p}{\therefore p \vee q} \end{aligned} $$
Write an original argument in words for the direct reasoning form.
Translate each argument into symbolic form. Then determine whether the argument is valid or invalid. You may use a truth table or, if applicable, compare the argument's symbolic form to a standard valid or invalid form. (You can ignore differences in past, present, and future tense.) If it is hot and humid, I complain. It is not hot or it is not humid. \(\therefore\) I am not complaining.

If we close the door, then there is less noise. There is less noise. \(\therefore\) We closed the door.
Draw what you believe is a valid conclusion in the form of a disjunction for the following argument. Then verify that the argument is valid for your conclusion. "Inevitably, the use of the placebo involved built-in contradictions. A good patient-doctor relationship is essential to the process, but what happens to that relationship when one of the partners conceals important information from the other? If the doctor tells the truth, he destroys the base on which the placebo rests. If he doesn't tell the truth, he jeopardizes a relationship built on trust."
