Use the valid argument form to deduce the conclusion from the premises, giving a reason for each step.

A. ~p v q ➵ r

B. s v ~q

C.~t

D. p ➵ t

E. ~p Λ r ➵ ~s

F. (conclusion) ~q

So Far this is my work.

  1. p➵ t ( p implies t, if p then t, modus tolltens)

~t

conclusion ~p

  1. ~p ➵ q

(conclusion) ~p v q (generalization)

  1. ~p v q ➵ r

~ p v q

r

This is where I get stuck. Does anyone know what to do next and why?
