Each of the following passages contains a single argument. Using the letters "P" and "C," identify the premises and conclusion of each argument, writing premises first and conclusion last. List the premises in the order in which they make the most sense (usually the order in which they occur), and write both premises and conclusion in the form of separate declarative sentences. Indicator words may be eliminated once premises and conclusion have been appropriately labeled. An ant releases a chemical when it dies, and its fellows then carry it away to the compost heap. Apparently the communication is highly effective; a healthy ant painted with the death chemical will be dragged to the funeral heap again and again.

    P1: An ant releases a chemical when it dies, and its fellows then carry it away to the compost heap.

    P2: A healthy ant painted with the death chemical will be dragged to the funeral heap again and again.

    C: Apparently the communication is highly effective

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Premises are statements that are always assumed to be truth or statements that have been given and made to be true.

    Premises will be labelled as P1, P2, P3 ...

    Conclusions are derived statements from premises. Its truthfulness is derived from the truthfulness of premises. Meaning that, when the premises is true, the conclusion is also true.

    Conclusions will be labelled as C1, C2, C3 ...

    In the question above, it's noted that the conclusion starts at "Apparently the" while the premises are statements before "Apparently the"
