An argument made up of false statements can still be valid because validity concerns logical form.

### Why this is right Validity tests the relationship between premises and conclusion under the assumption that the premises are true. It does not require the statements to be factually true in the actual world. ### The concept A valid argument's structure guarantees that if its premises were true, its conclusion could not be false. This means the argument can have false premises and still be valid. It would not be sound, because soundness requires true premises. Keeping these classifications separate prevents the mistake of treating factual accuracy as the test for validity. ### The other options - **False**: would confuse validity with soundness. True premises are required for soundness, not for validity. ### Terms - **Validity**: A logical property in which true premises cannot lead to a false conclusion. - **Soundness**: Validity together with the actual truth of all premises. - **Premise**: A statement used in support of a conclusion. ### Remember Validity concerns form; soundness also concerns factual truth.
