Test: Syllogism - 2 - Question 9

Directions: Each question consists of five statements followed by options consisting of three statements put together in a specific order. Choose the option which indicates a valid argument, that is, where the third statement is a conclusion drawn from the preceding two statements.

A. Traffic congestion increases carbon monoxide in the environment.
B. Increase in carbon monoxide is hazardous to health.
C. Traffic congestion is hazardous to health.
D. Some traffic congestion does not cause increased carbon monoxide.
E. Some traffic congestion is not hazardous to health.

Detailed Solution for Test: Syllogism - 2 - Question 9

BAC is the correct option choice

TC = Instances of traffic congestion
ICM = Instances of increase in carbon monoxide in the environment
HH = Instances that are hazardous to health.
The premises state that increase in carbon monoxide is hazardous to health and traffic congestion increases carbon monoxide in the environment. Therefore, traffic congestion is hazardous to health.

(a) CBA is invalid, because if TC and ICM are both separately hazardous to health (HH), no definite relationship between TC and ICM necessarily follows.
(b) BDE is invalid, because the some TC that are not ICM need not necessarily be free of any hazard to health (HH); they could possibly pollute the environment with other noxious gases.

The shaded portion shows those some TC that are not ICM, but could possibly be hazardous to health (HH).

(c) CDE is invalid, because the conclusion E is a negation of one of the premises C. Another check reveals the TC is the middle term, which appears in both the premises C and D, and E, therefore, should not appear in the conclusion E, as per the basic definition of a syllogism.

Test: Syllogism - 2 - Question 10

Directions: Each question consists of five statements followed by options consisting of three statements put together in a specific order. Choose the option which indicates a valid argument, that is, where the third statement is a conclusion drawn from the preceding two statements.

A. All software companies employ knowledge workers.
B. Tara Tech employs knowledge workers.
C. Tara Tech is a software company.
D. Some software companies employ knowledge workers.
E. Tara Tech employs only knowledge workers.

Detailed Solution for Test: Syllogism - 2 - Question 10

ACB is the correct answer choice, as it forms a valid syllogism.

CEKW = Companies that employ knowledge workers
SC = Software companies
TT = Tara Tech

The premises state that all software companies employ knowledge workers and Tara Tech is a software company. Therefore, Tara Tech employs knowledge workers.

(a) ABC is invalid because if Tara Tech employs knowledge workers, it cannot definitely be concluded that it is a software company.
(b) CDB is invalid because if only some software companies employ knowledge workers, Tara Tech may not be among them.
(c) ACE introduces a fourth term, 'Companies that employ only knowledge workers,' and therefore violates the very definition of a syllogism, which must have 3 and only 3 terms.
