Answer:

All Forms Are Valid

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the traditional view of existential import, categorical syllogism has all forms valid.

The traditional view of A and E prepositions are areas where existential assumption arises from.

Categorical syllogism forms are all valid because all syllogisms which are of the same form are equally valid or invalid. This validity is as a result of evaluating the traditional view of existential import.

To truly evaluate the validity of categorical syllogism, the following can be carried out :

1. Make a drawing of three overlapping circles and label each to represent major, minor and middle.

2. Make drawings of both syllogism's premises

3. Without drawing anything, look out for drawing of conclusion. Conclusion is done without drawing anything.
