Direction (for Q.No. 2):

Read each definition and all four choices carefully, and find the answer that provides the best example of the given definition.

The rules of baseball state that a batter Legally Completes His Time at Bat when he is put out or becomes a base runner. Which situation below is the best example of a batter Legally Completing His Time at Bat?

	A.	Jared's blooper over the head of the short-stop puts him in scoring position.
	B.	The umpire calls a strike, even though the last pitch was way outside.
	C.	The pitcher throws his famous knuckleball, Joe swings and misses, and the umpire calls a strike.
	D.	The count is two balls and two strikes as Mario waits for the next pitch.

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The fact that Jared is in scoring position due to his blooper indicates that he has hit the ball and is now a base runner; therefore, he has legally completed his time at bat. Choices b and c both describe situations in which a strike is called, but they do not state that the batter has been put out or that he is now a base runner. Choice d describes a situation in which the batter, Mario, is still at the plate waiting for the next pitch.

	A.	Only conclusion I follows
	B.	Only conclusion II follows
	C.	Either I or II follows
	D.	Neither I nor II follows
	E.	Both I and II follow

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The first premise is an E-type proposition, So, the middle term 'gentleman' forming the subject is distributed. The second premise is an A-type proposition. So, the middle term 'gentlemen' forming the subject is distributed. Since the middle term is distributed twice, the conclusion cannot be universal. Since one premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative. Thus, it follows that 'Some rich men are not poor'. Thus, neither I nor II follows.

13.

Tim's commute never bothered him because there were always seats available on the train and he was able to spend his 40 minutes comfortably reading the newspaper or catching up on paperwork.

	B.	Only conclusion II follows
	C.	Either I or II follows

	E.	Both I and II follow

Your Answer: Option

Explanation:

Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative. However, conclusion II, being an A-type proposition, distributes the term 'cats'.
