Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
$J\ v\ (J\ \&\ K)$
$J \rightarrow D$
$\sim\ D$
$\therefore K\ v\ M$

Answer

$(1)\ J\ v\ (J\ \&\ K)$ $P$
$(2)\ J \rightarrow D$ $P$
$(3) \sim D$ $P/ \therefore K\ v\ M$
$(4) \sim J$ $2, 3, MT$
$(5)\ J\ \&\ K$ $1, 4, DS$
$(6)\ K$ $5,$ Simp.
$(7)\ K\ v\ M$ $6,$ Add
