22. Explain 'Premisses', 'Conclusion', and 'Syllogism'. Give
examples.
23. Explain the phrases 'Middle Term' and 'Middle Terms'.
24. In marking a pair of Premisses on the larger Diagram, why is
it best to mark NEGATIVE Propositions before AFFIRMATIVE ones?
25. Why is it of no consequence to us, as Logicians, whether the
Premisses are true or false?
26. How can we work Syllogisms in which we are told that "some x
are y" is to be understood to mean "the Attribute x, y are COMPATIBLE",
and "no x are y" to mean "the Attributes x, y are INCOMPATIBLE"?
27. What are the two kinds of 'Fallacies'?
28. How may we detect 'Fallacious Premisses'?
29. How may we detect a 'Fallacious Conclusion'?
30. Sometimes the Conclusion, offered to us, is not identical with
the correct Conclusion, and yet cannot be fairly called 'Fallacious'.
When does this happen? And what name may we give to such a
Conclusion?
