Analyze the following arguments (for validity and soundness) (a) Since all arguments with mood and figure OIO-2 are valid arguments, we can conclude that some valid arguments are arguments with mood and figure EAE-4 (b) Some arguments with true premises and a true conclusion are arguments with mood and figure AIO-3 since some arguments with true premises and a true conclusion are not sound and no arguments with mood and figure AIO-3 are sound. 1. Write both arguments in standard logical form and give both the mood and figure for each syllogism. Do not how explain how the arguments are put in standard logical form. (While the first syllogism mentions OIO-2 and EAE-4 and the second syllogism mentions AIO-3, neither syllogism has these forms. They have different forms. And if this hint does not make sense, GET HELP.) Determine the validity or invalidity of syllogism (a) and (b) by using both a Venn diagram and Salmons rules (you must use all three of Salmons rules.) Explain why each statement (the two premises and conclusion) in each argument is true or false. When you discuss why the premises and conclusion are true for each syllogism, you only need to use one technique to prove that OIO-2, EAE-4, and AIO-3 are valid or invalid. You must put each argument in standard logical form as categorical syllogisms. This means that you must use the variables S,P, and M. The S,P, and M must appear in the appropriate locations in the argument. You must also provide either either a dictionary or an instance along with the form. Your reader needs to know what S, P, and M stand for. And you need this when you explain why each statement is true or false.
