premises and conclusions
Premises are statements or propositions that serve as the foundation or basis for a logical argument. They provide evidence or reasons to support a belief or conclusion. Conclusions, on the other hand, are the final outcomes or results drawn from the premises or evidence presented in an argument. They are a logical inference or deduction made based on the premises, and they aim to persuade or convince others of a certain viewpoint.
