Question: 1 / 575

What makes a set of facts different from an argument?

Must Be True

Cannot Be False

What is a premise?

Not Necessarily True

A set of facts is different from an argument because facts are statements that are not necessarily true or false; they are simply statements of what is believed to be true. On the other hand, an argument is a set of premises that lead to a conclusion, where the conclusion is claimed to follow from the premises. Therefore, while facts may or may not be true, arguments are based on premises that are used to support a conclusion, which may or may not be true. This distinction highlights why the correct answer is D - "Not Necessarily True."

Option A, "Must Be True," is incorrect because facts do not necessarily have to be true. Option B, "Cannot Be False," is not accurate because facts can indeed be false. Option C, "What is a premise?" is off-topic as it does not directly address the difference between a set of facts and an argument.
