Diagram for the question

Hi @emallas, Happy to help! "All parrots can learn to speak a few words and phrases." P --> SFWP Not SFWP --> Not P "Not all parrots have equally pleasant dispositions." Therefore, some parrots are not pleasant. Parrots - some - Not Pleasant Remember that 'some' statements are reversible: Not Pleasant - some - Parrots "Some of those native to Australia can be counted on for a sweet temper." Australian Parrots - some - Pleasant Pleasant - some - Australian Parrots Because Australian parrots are a type of parrot, we can also conclude that: Parrots - some - Pleasant Pleasant - some - Parrots "Almost any parrot will show tremendous affection for an owner who raised them from a chick by hand-feeding them." Note that "almost any" parrot means "most parrots." Parrots - most - Love Owner Hand-fed from Chick Remember that 'most' statements can be reversed if we use 'some.' Love Owner Hand-fed from Chick - some - Parrots There are two requirements for making a valid deduction with quantifiers: (1) Must have a S&N statement Exception: two 'most' statements which have the left side in common (2) Must have sufficient condition in common There are two options for making valid deductions here: (1) Not Pleasant - some - Parrots --> SFWP (2) We can also combine the S&N statement with the Australian parrot statement. Pleasant - some - Parrots --> SFWP It is this second deduction which is restated by answer choice (A) making it the correct answer: Pleasant - some - Parrots --> SFWP Pleasant - some - SFWP Thanks for your message and hope this is helpful!
