The (A * E * I * O) proposition is both (universal * particular) and
(affirmative * negative).
3.
The (A * E * I * O) proposition is neither (universal * particular) nor
(affirmative * negative).
4.
The proposition (“Some compact disc is a study guide” * “No compact disc
is a study guide”) is an (A * I) proposition that is (true * false).
5.
For Aristotle, contrary propositions may both be (true * false) but cannot
both be (true * false).
6.
For Aristotle, the (I * O) proposition (is implied by * implies) the (A *
E) proposition.
7.
For Boole, the (I * O) proposition (is implied by * implies) the (A * E)

8.

as (implying the existence of the subject * not implying the existence of the
subject).
9.

LOGIC TEST II
11.
No standard categorical syllogism has (three propositions * a middle term
which occurs in the conclusion * four or more different terms).
12.
The form of a standard categorical syllogism is its (form * mood * figure)
plus its (figure * form * middle term).

No syllogism in the form IAI-3 is (valid * invalid).
16.
A Venn diagram is (a method for determining validity or invalidity * an

17.
From the traditional standpoint, the Venn diagram for the (E * O)
proposition contains an ‘X’ somewhere in the overlapping circles.
18.
(“Every computer is an IBM compatible computer” * “No computer is an
IBM compatible computer”) is logically equivalent to (“Every IBM compatible
computer is a computer” * “No IBM compatible computer is a computer”).

third * fourth) figure.

premise).
28.
The M term of any argument in the form III-4 may be found in the
(conclusion * first position in the major premise * first position in the minor
premise).

30.
Use the traditional square of opposition. Given that “No S is P” is false,
“Some S is P” is (false * true * undetermined).
31.
Use the traditional square of opposition. Given that “Some S is not P” is
true, “Some S is P” is (false * true * undetermined).
32.
Use the modern square of opposition. Given that “Some S is not P” is false,
“Some S is P” is (false * true * undetermined).
