Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
$A \rightarrow B$
$D\ v\ A$
$E\  \rightarrow \sim\ D$
$F\ v\ E$
$\therefore\ A\ \&\ B$

Answer

$(1)\ A  \rightarrow B$ $P$
$(2)\ D\ v\ A$ $P$
$(3)\ E\  \rightarrow \sim\ D$ $P$
$(4)\ F\ v\ E$ $P$
$(5)\ \sim\ F$ $P/ \therefore\  A\ \&\ B$
$(6)\ E$ $4, 5, DS$
$(7)\ \sim\ D$ $3,6, MP$
$(8)\ A$ $2,7, DS$
$(9)\ B$ $1, 8, MP$
$(10)\ A\ \&\ B$ $8, 9,$ Conj.
