Which of the following is true?

A) Inductive arguments are judged by their soundness.
B) Deductive arguments are judged by their cogency.
C) Inductive and deductive arguments can both be judged by soundness and cogency.
D) Soundness and cogency have the same meaning.
E) Deductive arguments are judged by soundness, and inductive arguments are judged by cogency.

Deductive arguments are judged by soundness because they are based on premises that are either true or assumed to be true, and the validity of the argument depends on whether the conclusion necessarily follows from those premises. Inductive arguments, on the other hand, are judged by cogency because they are based on evidence that supports the likely truth of the conclusion but does not guarantee it. Soundness and cogency are not interchangeable terms, as soundness refers specifically to the validity of deductive arguments, while cogency refers to the strength of inductive arguments. Therefore, E is the best choice because it accurately distinguishes between how deductive and inductive arguments are evaluated.
