Create proof for the following argument
1. (H ∨ M) ∨ L
2. L ⊃ H
3. H ⊃ (M ⊃ H)
4. ∼(M ⊃ H)         /M

5. ~(~M ∨ H)         4, material implication
6. ~~M • ~H          5, deMorgan's law
7. M • ~H            6, double negation
8. M                 7, simplification

Notice that in this argument, we did not need to use the first three
premises but only the fourth.
