A4
B16
C64 ✓ Correct
D256
Correct answer: (C) 64
Explanation
The total number of possible moods works out to sixty-four.
Each of the three propositions can take one of four forms A, E, I or O.
The two premises and the conclusion vary independently.
So the count is four times four times four.
That product is 64 possible moods, before figures are taken into account.
