Week 7 Question 1

1).Please discuss, in detail, what you learned from reading Chapter 6.  Discuss at least 2 things you learned.

A compound claim is a claim that is made up of multiple claims, but must be viewed as only one single claim. This is done by words linking claims together, making it the claim a bunch of multiple claims put together, but is only read like it is one claim. The key word to look for in compound claims is "or". "Or" links two claims together, but allows the reader to read the claim as one.
For example: You should do homework or go to bed.
The alternatives (which are the individual parts of a compound claim) would be you should do your homework. You should go to bed.


 A conditional claim is one that can be read with the words "if" and "then" (in other words it is a claim where one thing will lead to another, If A then B)
Within these conditional claims, The A part of the claim is the antecedent, and the B part of the claim is the consequent.
For example: If I get to sleep in then I will not be a grouch.
The antecedent of the claim is I get to sleep in. The consequent of the claim is I will not be a grouch.
