3. Answer the question below given the premises and provide an
explanation:

“If it rains today, then it will rain tomorrow.

It rained today.

Will it rain forever?”

It will rain forever because the first premise established that if it is

the case that it rains today (1) then the succeeding day will also rain (2),
now, when that day comes and it was the case that it rained yesterday,
then it must be that it will rain tomorrow (3). The second premise
asserted that it rained today, hence, it will continuously rain for the
forthcoming days and leads us to the conclusion that it will rain
forever.

is or it is not the case:

“If I study tonight, then I will pass the test tomorrow.

I did not pass the test.

Did I study?”

that if I did not pass the test tomorrow, then I did not study.
