Detailed explanation-1: -An argument is a collection of statements or propositions, some of which are intended to provide support or evidence in favor of one of the others. A statement or proposition is something that can either be true or false. We usually think of a statement as a declarative sentence, or part of a sentence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, it is concluded from the above definitions that the propositions that support the conclusion of an argument are called Premises.
Detailed explanation-3: -Inference is a process that may tie together a cluster of propositions. Some inferences are warranted (or correct); others are not. The logician analyzes these clusters, examining the propositions with which the process begins and with which it ends, as well as the relations among these propositions.
Detailed explanation-4: -A premise is a statement in an argument that provides reason or support for the conclusion.
