LessonsExceptive Syllogism: Valid Inferences from Connected and Disjunctive ConditionalsQuiz

لكن النهار ليس بموجود

فالشمس ليست بطالعة
Therefore the sun has not risen.

The conclusion does not arise because “sun” and “day” have the same meaning. It follows from the connection asserted by the original conditional.
