  1. All doctors are professionals. Some professionals are athletes. Which conclusion MUST be true?

  2. If it rains, the picnic is cancelled. The picnic was NOT cancelled. What can you conclude?

    Answer: It did not rain

    Modus tollens: If P then Q; not-Q; therefore not-P. If rain implies cancelled, and not-cancelled, then it did not rain.

  3. No mammals are cold-blooded. All snakes are cold-blooded. Which statement must be true?

    Answer: No snakes are mammals

    No mammals are cold-blooded, and all snakes are cold-blooded, so snakes and mammals share no members.

  6. Three mislabeled boxes contain apples, oranges, and a mix. The 'Mixed' box is opened and reveals only apples. What does the 'Oranges' box contain?
