Traditional Logic Memoria Press Practice Exam

The major term of a standard syllogism's conclusion with 'All S are P' is:

S All None P

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

In categorical syllogisms, the major term is the one that appears as the predicate in the conclusion. Here, the conclusion is “All S are P.” What’s being asserted about every S is that they are P, so the term being predicated of S is P. That makes P the major term. The subject term is S, and the middle term (the term that links the premises) would be the remaining term involved in the full syllogism. So the major term is P.
