If Ann so wishes, then Bill will be the president. Manuel is a public defender or Bill will be the president. Manuel is not a public defender. Therefore, Ann does not so wish.

Question: Determine whether the argument is valid or invalid

Answer: This argument is an invalid argument.

An invalid argument can be said to be an argument whereby the conclusions drawn are not from the basis of the argument.

The conclusion " Therefore, Ann does not so wish." Does not correlate with the premises.
