Which of the following codes correctly represents the figure and mood of the argument?
"Some conservatives are not advocates of high tariff rates, because all advocates of high tariff rates are republicans and some republicans are not conservatives."

Correct option is A

Argument:

1. All advocates of high tariffs (A) are Republicans (R).

2. Some Republicans (R) are not conservatives (C).
   ∴ Some conservatives (C) are not advocates of high tariffs (A).  

Step 1: Identify Terms

• Major Term (P)= Predicate of conclusion =advocates of high tariffs (A)

• Minor Term (S)= Subject of conclusion =conservatives (C)

• Middle Term (M)= Term in both premises but not conclusion =Republicans (R)  

Step 2: Rewrite in Standard Form

1. Premise 1:All A are R →All P are M(A-type)

2. Premise 2:Some R are not C →Some M are not S(O-type)

3. Conclusion:Some C are not A →Some S are not P(O-type)

Mood:AOO

Step 3: Determine Figure

Check theposition of the middle term (M = R):

• Premise 1 (All P are M):M is thepredicate.

• Premise 2 (Some M are not S):M is thesubject.

This fitsFigure IV(middle term is predicate in Premise 1 and subject in Premise 2).

(Mood = AOO, Figure = IV → AOO-IV
