Answer 1

4) A conclusion is that which we wish to justify with reasons, often premises in an argument.

5) This is NOT a valid argument because it affirms the consequent, and affirming the consequent is a formal fallacy (which has to do with validity).

6) Thus, it is not sound.

The rest looks good.
