Instructions General Instructions:

Quiz 8 consists of 17 questions. You are given 1 (one) hour to complete this quiz.

Questions 1­5:

Place the given propositions in Standard Categorical Form.

Questions 6­11:

Test for validity the given syllogistic forms using the Venn­diagram technique.

Questions 12­17:

Test for validity the given argument using the five rules for syllogism validity, and
determine which of the five rules for syllogism validity are violated for the given
syllogistic forms, if any.

IMPORTANT:

Please note that the quiz must be finished and submitted before the corresponding
deadline as in the schedule, not just started ­ once the deadline is reached, the system
will automatically stop the quiz and you will no longer be allowed to continue with the
quiz (so you might lose your points for the quiz). Also, when you are done, make sure
you press the Submit button ­ unless you do so, the quiz may not automatically be
submitted to the system (and you risk losing all the points for this quiz)!

If, while taking the Quiz, you experience any technical problems which prevent you
from completing the Quiz, you must immediately report your issue to the IT­people
responsible for the technical issues (not the instructor!) by following the "DL Help
Desk" link on the main course menu. The Help Desk people monitor and record the
current situation and they will then send their report to me, the instructor, with all the

relevant information. If not reported to the DL Help Desk, I, the instructor, will not be
able to verify any issues with the Quiz, and, as such, will not be able to change your
grade or give you any other attempt to finish the quiz.

Question 1 2 out of 2 points

Place the following proposition in Standard Categorical Form (e.g., S = "Students", P =
"People", "All S are P") and match it with one of the five given standard forms.

Proposition: Only brave people are soldiers.

Selected Answer: S = "Soldiers", P = "Brave people"
All S are P

Answers: S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
Some S are P

S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
All S are P

S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
Some S are not P

S = "Soldiers", P = "Brave people"
All S are P

S = "Brave people", P = "Soldiers"
No S are P

Response First, we can paraphrase (in an equivalent way) the sentence a bit, to make it
Feedback: more formal: "ONLY IF you're a brave person, THEN you're a soldier".

Second, remembering that "IF P THEN Q" is logically equivalent to "ONLY IF Q
THEN P", we paraphrase it further, geting rid of "ONLY" (but not forgetting to
switch the antecedent with the consequent): "IF you’re a soldier THEN you’re a
brave person".

Third, remembering that the propositional "If A then B" (where A and B are
propositions, i.e., full­fledged sentences which are, by themselves, either true
or false) can be translated into a categorical sentence "All S are P" (where S
and P are not propositions, but referring terms designating the corresponding
sets of objects), we get a categorical translation: "All S are P", where S =
"Soldiers", and P = "Brave people".

To repeat once again, compare the two symbolyzations of the same English
sentence "Only brave people are soldiers", the first one being within the
propositional logic, the second within the categorical logic:

Propositional logic: "If A then B", where A = "You are a soldier", B = "You
are a brave person".

Categorical logic: "All S are P", where S = "Soldiers", and P = "Brave people".
