Case: So the difference between about invalid and valid argument are two different things and different meaning. Just like validity and truth many believe they both mean the same thing but it's not true. In the video source "What Is Valid vs. Invalid? | Deductive Reasoning" it says " Validity applies to argument. Truth applies to statements." by Let's Get Logical. Also if saying that argument is valid that doesn't mean it's good or sounds better. The premises has to be truth and show that it would support the conclusion. For example in the video source, "Critical Thinking #2: Valid & Sound Arguments" it says "An argument is valid if the truth of the premises would guarantee the truth of the conclusion." by David Pakman Show. That's if it true on some argument that can really support the conclusion and having true premises. Now's days language are being used in difference ways confusing the reader to understand what the real meaning of the word Valid and what it really suppose to be use in an argument. In the textbook page 162 it says "We say, for instance, that a person makes a 'valid point" or offers a 'valid suggestion.' In logic, however, valid never means simply 'good' or "true.' It is always used in the precise technical sense indicated above." In another way to know the difference between Deductive and Inductive argument is understanding what premises are saying the truth or understanding that conclusion is being supported by the premises. In the video "Episode 1.3: Deductive and Inductive Arguments" (4:04) it says "depends on the strength of the premises- in which the premises do not prove but merely support the conclusion- is an Inductive argument." by Center for Innovation in Legal Education. There is many ways to find way to make your conclusion that are supported by the premises but it can also be tricky by making the premises valid.

Read the above passage, and answer the question.

Question 1. Pick an exceptionally accurate and clear explanation. Comment on what makes it especially clear and accurate. Remember that just because you agree with an explanation doesn't make it necessarily accurate. Focus on what makes it accurate, understandable, relatable, and specific.

Question 2. Next, pick an inaccurate, unclear, or vague explanation from among your classmates' explanations. This time, adopt a helpful attitude and suggest how the explanation can be made better, more accurate, clearer, more understandable, more relatable, and more specific. Make your suggestions specific and constructive.
