1c) The first step is to translate the argument into symbolic form. To form an argument we need a collection of premises and a conclusion. The conclusion is normally the statement which begins with "Therefore", "Hence" or "Thus". In this case, there are three premises. The first premise is "If the cat fiddled or the cow jumped over the moon, then the little dog laughed." The second premise is "If the little dog laughed, then the dish ran away with the spoon." The third premise is "But the dish did not run away with the spoon." The conclusion is "Therefore the cat did not fiddle."
Let c represent "the cat fiddled", let j represent "the cow jumped over the moon", let d represent "the little dog laughed", and let r represent "the dish ran away with the spoon." Now write each of the premises and the conclusion in symbolic form.
