Answer 1

In a standard form categorical syllogism, the major term is found in the major premise and the conclusion, the minor term is in the minor premise and the conclusion, and the middle term is in both the major and minor premises.

Step-by-step explanation:

To match the types of terms with the propositions in which they appear in a standard form categorical syllogism, we must understand that a categorical syllogism consists of two premises and a conclusion. Each premise contains two of the three terms in the syllogism: the major term, the minor term, and the middle term. The conclusion also contains two terms: the major term and the minor term. The major premise contains the major term and the middle term. The minor premise contains the minor term and the middle term. The conclusion then combines the major term with the minor term.

• The major term appears in the major premise and the conclusion.
• The minor term appears in the minor premise and the conclusion.
• The middle term appears in both the major premise and the minor premise, but not in the conclusion.

Therefore, the matches are:

• Major Term: Major Premise, Conclusion
• Minor Term: Minor Premise, Conclusion
• Middle Term: Major Premise, Minor Premise
