Reconstruct the following as a standard-form syllogism, and determine whether it is valid.None of the southern provinces of Spain were outside the control of the Moors before the end of the fifteenth century. So all the provinces of Andalucia must have been within Moorish control, because all of them are southern provinces.
What will be an ideal response?
S = provinces of southern Spain; M = provinces within the control of the Moors (before the end of the fifteenth century); A = provinces of Andalucia.
All S are M. (Which we get by obverting the original, no S are non-M.)
All A are S.
Therefore, all A are M.
Valid.
