Question

What is wrong with this argument? Let \(H\left( x \right)\)be “\(x\)is happy.” Given the premise \(\exists xH\left( x \right)\), we conclude that \(H\left( {Lola} \right)\). Therefore, Lola is happy.

Short answer

The fact is unknown such as if Lola is the person for which \(H\left( x \right)\) is true.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of Argument    

Theargument is a collection of propositions that have premises and a conclusion.

To find incorrect fact in the given argument

Suppose \(H\left( x \right) = \) “\(x\)is happy.”

The given premise is\(\exists xH\left( x \right)\)and consider that \(\exists xH\left( x \right)\)is true.

So, there exists a person \(y\) such that \(H\left( y \right)\) is true.

The fact is unknown such as if the person \(y\)is Lola.

Therefore, the fact is unknown such as if Lola is the person for which \(H\left( x \right)\) is true.
