Deductive Reasoning (Syllogisms) explanation

Deductive Reasoning is a part of the assessment that many people have a hard time with. This is actually unnecessary because in fact there are only a few different types of questions. It is important to work very precisely and draw a Venn diagram to make the exercise clear to yourself. At the beginning you will probably make a lot of mistakes, but if you practice a lot and do the same thing every time, you will work faster and make fewer and fewer mistakes.

Exercises are mostly in the form:

Premise 1: there is a relationship between A and B

Premise 2: there is a relationship between A and C (or B and C)

Question: What conclusion can be drawn from this?

For A, B and C, often words are used that can confuse you. It is therefore important not to look at the meaning of the words in the propositions, but simply to show in a figure exactly what the proposition indicate about the relationships between A, B and C.
