Question 1

All officers complete basic training. James is an officer. What can be concluded?

Accepted Answer

James has completed basic training

Answer

Since all officers complete basic training and James is an officer, it logically follows that James has completed basic training.

Question 2

If no snipers are recruits and all recruits wear red berets, which statement must be true?

Accepted Answer

None of the above

Answer

Recruits wear red berets, but since no snipers are recruits, we cannot determine whether snipers wear red berets or not — it is not necessarily true that no sniper wears one.

Question 3

A unit deploys only when conditions A and B are both met. Condition A is met. What happens?

Accepted Answer

The unit does not deploy unless B is also met

Answer

Both A and B must be satisfied; meeting only A is insufficient for deployment.

Question 4

Either the convoy travels by road or by air. It does not travel by air. What follows?

Accepted Answer

The convoy travels by road

Answer

This is a disjunctive syllogism: when one of two options is eliminated, the other must be true.

Question 5

All armored vehicles are heavy. Some heavy vehicles require special bridges. Which must be true?

Accepted Answer

Some armored vehicles may require special bridges

Answer

Since some heavy vehicles require special bridges and all armored vehicles are heavy, it is possible — but not certain — that some armored vehicles fall into that subset.
