(1a) Examine the following list of propositions with a view to classifying them as “A’s,” “E’s,” “I’s” or “O’s.”
E 1. “None of the inmates voted.”
A 2. “Benj. Franklin was the best educated American.”
I 3. “Some doctors deem it right to lie to their patients.”
A 4. “All earnest teachers need to observe the teaching of others.”
I 5. “Some politicians are honest.”
A 6. “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”
O 7. “Some proverbs are not true to life.”
E 8. “No man should infringe upon the rights of others.”
I recall that an affirmative proposition in which the predicate refers to the whole of the subject is an A, while one where the predicate refers to only a part of the subject is an I. Further, a negative proposition where the predicate refers to the whole of the subject is an E, while one in which the predicate refers to only a part of the subject is an O. With these facts in mind, I classify the propositions as indicated.
