Use the information about mood and figure to reconstruct the argument. Then, evaluate the argument for Boolean and Aristotelian validity using Venn diagrams. If the argument is valid only in Aristotelian logic, tell me what class must have a member. Make sure to state if the argument is valid or invalid in each logic. (8pts)
1.) Is the an
argument that has an AAI mood and a figure 2 valid in either logic? If so,
which logics? If valid only in Aristotelian logic, what class has to have a
member?
All P are M.
All S are M.
Some S are P.

2.) Is the an argument that has an EIO mood and a figure 4 valid in either logic? If so, which logics? If valid only in Aristotelian logic, what class has to have a member?
No P are M.
Some M are S.
Some S are not P.

Use Venn diagrams to evaluate the validity (both Boolean and Aristotelian) of the following direct inference. If the argument is valid write the logic or logics in which it is valid. (4pts)

Thus, some ants are insects that can carry over 50 times their own weight.
