What distinguishes an argument from a set of facts?

Premise/Conclusion
Logical Opposition
Not Necessarily False
What is a conclusion?

The correct answer is: Premise/Conclusion

An argument is distinguished from a set of facts by the presence of a premise and a conclusion. In an argument, the premise is a statement or set of statements given in support of the conclusion, which is the statement that the argument is trying to prove. The relationship between the premise and conclusion helps to establish the logical structure of the argument. This is what sets an argument apart from a mere collection of facts or statements. Option B (Logical Opposition) is incorrect because it does not directly address the distinction between an argument and a set of facts. Option C (Not Necessarily False) is incorrect because it does not provide a clear explanation of the difference between an argument and a set of facts. Option D (What is a conclusion?) is incorrect as it does not explain the distinguishing feature between an argument and a set of facts.
