The argument provides a “some” statement (some weaklings are cowards) and a “most” statement (most cowards are fools) then concludes that there must be overlap (at least one weakling is a fool).

The argument describes two subgroups of cowards (ones who are also weaklings and ones who are also fools) and assumes that they must overlap. While only a minority of cowards are not fools, it could be the case that these non-foolish cowards are the only ones who are also weaklings. If that’s the case, then the cowards who are also weaklings are not fools, meaning that the conclusion is unsupported.

No flaw. If all weasels are carnivores, and all carnivores are nonherbivores, then it follows that at least some (in this case, all) weasels are nonherbivores.

Wrong flaw. This provides information about specific groups (saints and moralists) but leaps to a conclusion about people in general. The stimulus, in contrast, assumes that two groups must overlap.

This assumes that the described groups must overlap. It’s possible that the two subgroups of musicians (painters and dancers) don’t overlap at all.

No flaw. This properly establishes a conditional chain. If autonomy is necessary for freedom, and freedom is necessary for virtue, it follows that autonomy is necessary for virtue.

No flaw. If most voters favor a ban, and all those who favor a ban are not opposed to stiff tariffs, then it follows that at least one voter is not opposed to stiff tariffs.
