I know I don’t deserve to pass the test, but my car broke down on the way to school. Does the sentence present a sound or unsound argument?

Answer:

The argument is unsound.

Step-by-step explanation:

For an argument to be sound, it has to A) have premises that logically guarantee the truth of the conclusion, and B) have premises that are actually true. The point of these argument is to justify the outcome.

In this sentence, the premise states a situation that does not directly relates to the end result and therefore it does not justify it.
