Cevap
The correct pairings connect the isolated premise concept in each argument to its isolated conclusion concept, ensuring strict deductive sufficiency.
Each correct pairing directly connects the specific evidence provided in the premise to the specific claim made in the conclusion. Because these are straightforward conditional arguments, the sufficient assumption in each case takes the form 'If [Premise Concept], then [Conclusion Concept]', which logically guarantees that the conclusion follows from the premise.
