false
true

Explanation:

Question 1

In argumentation, stronger data (more complete, better quality) and a more relevant warrant (the reasoning connecting data to claim) increase the credibility of a claim. So the statement is correct.

Inductive reasoning uses specific observations to make generalizations. These generalizations are probabilistic, not absolute, so they can't be proven with absolute certainty (beyond a shadow of a doubt). Thus the statement is false.

Deductive reasoning is sound only if the premises are true and the argument is valid. If premises are false, even a valid deductive argument isn't sound. So deductive reasoning isn't always sound. The statement is false.

Answer:

True
