Identify the conclusion of the passage so that you can correctly identify the major,
minor, and middle terms. Then, after placing the passage's propositions in the correct
order, you ultimately want to identify its mood and its figure.
(Hint: not all the sentences are structured in Premise, Premise, Conclusion form; so,
be careful when you are standardizing the argument and make sure you identify each
conclusion by its indicator word).
Your answers should look like example below;

some neurotics are not criminals.
5.

vessels, because no pleasure vessels are underwater crafts.
6.

astronauts are baseball fans.
8.

No people whose primary interest is in winning elections are true liberals, and
all active politicians are people whose primary interest is in winning elections;
which entails that no true liberals are active politicians.
10. It follows that no weaklings are labor leaders; because no weaklings are true
liberals, and all labor leaders are true liberals.
Your grade is based first on the mood. If you get this wrong, you don't get credit.
Then if you get that right, but identify the figure incorrectly, you will only get 1/2
credit.
