True False

1) To provide a justification is to provide good reasons for believing something to be true.

2) The following is an argument meant to justify that, in fact, the Earth is not flat. "If the Earth were flat, then it would have edges that you could fall off. The Earth does not have edges that you can fall off. Thus, the Earth is not flat."

3) Explanations are attempts to show that someone has a reason to believe the conclusion of the argument.

4) "Background assumptions" are opinions stated to urge someone to be persuaded by a contradictory fact.

5) In some speech contexts (such as in a criminal trial), it is useful to provide arguments that both justify and explain.
