Suppose That in the Venn Diagram of the Premises of a Categorical

question 207

Multiple Choice

Suppose that in the Venn diagram of the premises of a categorical syllogism, there is an X on the line between areas 2 and 3.But in the diagram of the conclusion, the X is on the line between areas 2 and 5.Is the syllogism valid?

• A)No, because the Xs are not in precisely the same place in the two diagrams, which is a requirement for validity.
• B)No, because proving that something exists either in area 2 or area 3 is not enough to prove that something exists either in area 2 or area 5 (it could exist only in area 3).
• C)Yes, because the two Xs border the same area, area 2.
• D)Yes, because there is no shading to consider.
• E)Yes, because if something exists in either area 2 or area 3, then necessarily something exists in area 2 or area 5.
