1.Determine whether the argument is valid or invalid.
A tree has green leaves and the tree produces oxygen.
This tree has green leaves
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This tree produces oxygen.
==================================
It doesn not say that EVERY tree has green leaves and produces oxygen.
So draw two intersecting circles: one for "has green leaves", the other for "produces oxygen".
---------------
This tree produces oxygen.
Put a point in the "has green leaves" circle".
-----------------
Does that point HAVE to be in the "produces oxygen" circle?
No
-----------
Therefore the argument is invalid.
==========================================
