Here's what JY says:

All turtles know kung fu. All turtles are named after Italian artists. Therefore, some things that know kung fu are named after Italian artists.

[Lawgic]

A –> B

A –> C

_______________

B some C

I assume that would look like:

C

C

ABC

ABC

ABC

B

B

that makes sense.

Next Part:

An often overlooked corollary to this valid form is the following:

A –> C

B –> C

_______________

/A some /B

I assume that would look like:

/A

/A

/C/A/B

/C/A/B

/B

/B

Question:

I'm having trouble thinking of this in a sentence that actually makes sense/one that might appear on the test. help please?

    So the corollary is definitely the tricky part.

    A ---> C

    B ----> C

    ---------------------

    /A some /B

    To represent this in English, you would say,

    "Some things that aren't A are also not B."

    Let's use the ninja turtles metaphor to substitute:

    A = ninja turtles

    B = Italian artists

    C = kung fu

    A ---> C (all ninja turtles know kung fu)

    B ---> C (all italian artists know kung fu)

    ----------------------

    /A some /B ("some things that ARE NOT ninja turtles, ARE ALSO NOT italian artists").

    So this corollary is essentially referring to whatever is OUTSIDE the intersection of ABC which you mentioned first:

    A ---> B

    A ---> C

    -----------------

    B some C

    I'm going to use { } to represent intersection relationships.

    {some B's} {all A's, some B's, some C's} {some C's}

    The corollary is merely describing whatever is NOT in those { } brackets.

    As for how it might appear on the test, I'm not entirely too certain. This seems like something that would appear in a Sufficient Assumption/Pseudo-Sufficient Assumption, so maybe it would help you to go over those particular lessons in the course. Sorry if this wasn't much help.

    Good luck!

    If you are not a fruit, you are not an orange. If you are not a fruit, you are not an apple. Some things that are not oranges are not apples, ie Darth Vader.
