 4Translate the following argument and use truth tables to test for validity.      
        
              
  "If 9 is less than 10 and every odd number less than 10 is divisible by 3, then 9 is divisible by 3. THEREFORE If 9 is less than 10 it is less than 10 it is divisible by 3."
  
  
              
  N = "9 is less than 10"          
  O = "Every odd number less than 10 is divisible by 3."      
  D =  "9 is divisible by 3."
