Answer:

D) The argument must be uncogent.

E) The conclusion is probably false.

A) The premises are probably false.

A) Yes

Explanation:

The distinction between false, true, strong, weak, cogent and uncogent arguments is an important one when we are looking to properly analyze an argument that was put forward. A cogent argument is a strong, non-deductive argument that has true premises. A cogent argument is a non-deductive one, which means that the premises establish probable, but not definite support for the conclusion.
