A1, 2 and 3
B1, 2, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct
C3 and 4
D1, 2 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Explanation
By nature the premises and conclusion are propositions, a syllogism has two premises and one conclusion, induction turns on strong, weak, cogent and uncogent, and induction concerns a posteriori knowledge (Statements 1, 2, 3 and 4).
Every premise and conclusion is a truth-bearing proposition.
The standard syllogism is built from exactly two premises leading to a single conclusion.
Inductive appraisal uses the grades strong, weak, cogent and uncogent rather than valid or invalid.
Induction rests on experience, so its knowledge is a posteriori, and all four statements hold.
