(Major assignment shit. Just some logic questions, etc. Double check this for me?)
Part 1: Finding Conclusions

Process:

1.)

A.)No Medicine is nice

b.) Senna is a medicine

c.) Senna is not nice.

Explanation: Statement A says that no medicine is nice, and since Senna is a medicine, it is not nice.

------------------------------------

2.)

a.) All shilling are round.

b.) These coins are round.

c.) These coins are shillings.

Explanation: All shillings are round, and these coins happen to be round, therefore they qualify as shillings.

------------------------------------

3.)

a.) Some pigs are wild.

b.) All pigs are fat.

c.) Wild pigs are fat.

Explanation: The two statements here can be easily connected. All pigs are fat, and this includes wild pigs.

------------------------------------

4.)

a.) Prejudiced people are untrustworthy.

b.) Some unprejudiced persons are disliked

c.)*Cannot Connect*

Explanation: I cannot connect these twp statements. Assuming prejudice people are liked is contradictory to its own statement, because untrustworthy people aren’t liked. Some unprejudiced people are disliked, but that doesn’t mean that prejudiced are liked. So, these two statements cannot be connected.

------------------------------------

5.)

a.) Babies are illogical

b.) Nobody who is despised can manage a crocodile

c.) Illogical persons are despised

d.) Babies cannot managed crocodiles/

Explanation: Babies are illogical, therefore despised. Also, people are despised cannot manage a crocodile. From this, you can get that babies cannot manage crocs.

------------------------------------

6.)
a.) No birds, except ostriches, are 9 feet high

b.) There are no birds in this aviary that belong to anyone but me

c.) No ostriches lives on mince pies

d.) I have no birds less than 9 feet high.

e.) All birds that I own are ostriches and they live in the aviary.

Explanation: The statements may seem complicated, but the man says that he owns no birds under 9 feet high. “No ostriches lives on mince pies” can be tossed aside as extra info.
