Question
Each of the following statements is an attempt to show that a given series is convergent or
divergent using the Comparison Test (NOT the Limit Comparison Test.) For each statement, enter
C (for "correct") if the argument is valid, or enter I (for "incorrect") if any part of the argument is
flawed. (Note: if the conclusion is true but the argument that led to it was wrong, you must enter I.)
