Here's the Solution to this Question

1. Let p represents you perform every programming problem in the module.

Let q represents you will learn programing


We have

p\to q\\ q\\ \therefore p

This is invalid. Assume that p\to q and q are both true. Now, p\to q may be true with p being false. Then the conclusion p is false is invalid. Hence the argument is not valid by fallacy of Converse.


2. Let p represents everyone likes to go to the hospital.

Let q represent that there is someone that likes to go to the hospital.

We have

\neg p\\ \therefore \neg q

If the premises is true then the conclusion will also be true. Hence the argument is valid.
