4) Does the following argument satisfy the Logic Condition? 1. The person who gets this job must have either a PhD degree or at least 10 years of work experience. 2. The person who got the job has a PhD degree. Therefore, the person who got the job does not have at least 10 years of work experience.

Explanation

The conclusion is false. This is a case where we can easily imagine that a person has BOTH a PhD AND at least 10 years of work experience. They aren't mutually exclusive. So the fact that the person has a PhD doesn't rule out the possibility that he also has at least 10 years of work experience. This kind of formal fallacy is discussed in the tutorial course titled "Common Valid and Invalid Argument Forms".
