Disjunctive syllogisms/Alternative Conjunctions are
based on "either/or" sentences. Is a kind of syllogism, or logical deduction, in which one
of the premises is unstated.
 A disjunctive proposition states alternatives.
These alternatives may or may bot be exclusive.
A disjunctive proposition affirms that atleast
one of the alternative is true. 1. Conclusion
Example - He is either careless or dishonest • Statement being claimed to be true
He is not careless • Indicators:
Therefore he is dishonest. Therefore, Thus, Hence.

 For example, if a man tells his wife, "Tomorrow
