How do you evaluate an argument for soundness?

Statements (1) and (2) are this argument's premises and statement (3), which “follows” from (1) and (2), is its conclusion. Two properties are relevant to evaluating arguments: validity and soundness. Arguments are valid when it is the case that if their premises are true, then their conclusions must also be true.
