The initial premise
- The initial premise states that that all college students are required to take humanities class, the second premise cVe syllogism because the conclusion is based on the first two premises yet the first premises is not leading to the second statement rendering the conclusion false.(Kosko,1990)
- The first premise indicates that all college students do study and Ernie is grouped as a college student and therefore we can conclude that Ernie studies since she is in the group of college students. Therefore the syllogism is deductively valid because it is based on the first two statements which are true.
- The first statements indicates that all college students attend class meaning that all students in that college are observed to be attending classes, the second statement classify Cindy to be among students who attend class, and there Cindy must be a college student.Therefore this syllogism is deductive valid simply because the conclusion that Cindy is a college student is based on the two premises which are true.(David,1910)
- The fist premise indicates that two assignment were submitted by the two girls, the second premise indicates that the assignment were identical therefore the two girls were doing their assignments together. With this conclusion the conclusion becomes deductive syllogism since the conclusion is based on the first two premises which are true.
