1. lllicit major
2. Existential fallacy
3. lllicit minor
4. Undistributed middle

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Existential fallacy

• Any valid standard form of categorical syllogism with a particular conclusion and two universal premises will commit the fallacy of Existential fallacy.
• An existential fallacy is committed in a medieval categorical syllogism because it has two universal premises and a particular conclusion with no assumption that at least one member of the class exists, an assumption which is not established by the premises.
• The existential fallacy occurs when we erroneously suppose some class or group has members. In other words, statements may be true about classes or groups even if no members of the class or group exist.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
