3. Argument: All roses are flowers. No flowers are animals. Therefore, no roses are animals.

4. Argument: If you study well, you'll pass the exam. You studied well. Therefore, you passed the exam.

5. Argument: All birds can fly. Penguins are birds. Therefore, penguins can fly.

Please note that the last argument is a valid deductive argument, but it's not sound because the premise that all birds can fly is false. Penguins are a type of bird that cannot fly.
