The given question is incomplete; options are missing.

B. valid because this is indeed a valid syllogism and the logic is apparent.
C. invalid because this syllogism does not involve a pragmatic reasoning schema.
D. invalid because of the influence of the atmosphere effect.
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Syllogism is a rhetorical device used to draw a conclusion about certain arguments(premise). It is a form of logical reasoning.
A syllogism can be divided into three parts:
- Minor premise
- Major Premise
- Conclusion
In the given case, the major premise is "some tired people are irritable" because it is stating a fact; "all of the students are tired" is a minor premise that is specifying a statement, and "some of the students are irritable" is a conclusion drawn from the major and minor premise.
This syllogism will be considered valid because the conclusion is believable.
