Question 1
Statements:
All structures are patterns.
Some structures are frameworks.
Conclusions:
I. Some patterns are frameworks.
II. All patterns being frameworks is a possibility.
III. Some frameworks are patterns.
Distribution of Terms:
A term is DISTRIBUTED when statement makes claim about ALL members.
A term is UNDISTRIBUTED when statement refers to SOME members.
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1: "All structures are patterns" → structures DISTRIBUTED, patterns UNDISTRIBUTED
Statement 2: "Some structures are frameworks" → Both UNDISTRIBUTED
Logical Deduction:
Some B are C (I) + All B are A (A) = I + A = I
Result: Some C are A OR Some A are C
Checking Conclusions:
✓ Conclusion I: "Some patterns are frameworks" - FOLLOWS
✓ Conclusion II: "All patterns being frameworks is a possibility" - No negatives exist - FOLLOWS
✓ Conclusion III: "Some frameworks are patterns" - Conversion of I - FOLLOWS
Answer: All conclusions I, II and III follow
