The first premise of a categorical syllogism has only one term.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
The first premise of a categorical syllogism (the major premise) has two terms. The first term is the predicate and appears in the conclusion as well. The second term is the middle term and appears only in the premises. For instance, "All mammals are animals" might be a major premise of a categorical syllogism. "Mammals" then would be the predicate, while "animals" would be the middle term.
