SiamRose Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Tents are not buildings, so A is correct. However, since premise 1 is false, D may also be considered correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokcitylimits Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Tents are not buildings, so A is correct. However, since premise 1 is false, D may also be considered correct. B: READ: Some (school)buildings are tents (instead of stone buildings) so in this case B. Some buildings are tents (as A,B,C,D are related to 1,2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
