This question is pretty doable with or without formal diagramming, but it’s a nice excuse to practice anyway. Ideally, you should be familiar enough with the valid argument forms that you can preemptively draw two valid inferences:
English
P1: Most single-party countries are corrupt.
P2: Some plurality countries are corrupt.
P3: All corrupt countries are weak.
________
Inf 1: Most single-party countries are weak.
Inf 2: Some plurality countries are weak.Formal Logic (Domain: Countries)
P1: Single –most→ Corrupt
P2: Plurality ←some→ Corrupt
P3: Corrupt → Weak
________
Inf 1: Single –most→ Weak
Inf 2: Plurality ←some→ Weak
We get the first inference by linking premises 1 and 3, putting most before all. We get the second inference by linking premises 2 and 3, putting some before all.
