That billboard in the middle of the field says "Get the U.S. out of the U.N." From this, it's clear that the United Nations is a bad organization.

This is a deductive, valid argument.
True or False?

Answer:

False. It is an inductive, weak argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is not deductive and valid, because it derives its conclusion only from limited evidence that U.N. is presented in a negative light in this isolated statement.

The other example, is a survey of students meal choice preferences in the campus canteen. Only because 75% of students in a sample group of 100 said that they do not support availability meat-based meals in the canteen, does not mean that 75% of all students do not support availability meat-based meals as well.
