<u>Explanation:</u>

Note that, stating the converse of a statement in logic simply involves you reverse the initial two statements (hypothesis &conclusion [S&P]).

<u>a. No people who are considerate of others are reckless drivers who pay no attention to traffic regulations.</u>

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be:

No S is P ≥ No P is S (where S represents the hypothesis, and P represents the conclusion)

The converse read; No reckless drivers are considerate of others.

b. All graduates of West Point are commissioned officers in the U.S. Army.

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be:

All S is P -> Some P is S

The converse read; Some commissioned officers of West Point are graduates

c. Some European cars are overpriced and underpowered automobiles.

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be: Some S are P -> Some P is S

The converse read;  Some overpriced cars and underpowered automobiles are European cars

<u>d. No reptiles are warm-blooded animals. </u>

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be:

<u>No S is P -> No P is S</u>

The converse read; <u>No warm-blooded animals are reptiles.</u>

<u>e.  Some professional wrestlers are elderly persons who are incapable of doing an honest day’s work</u>

We could deduce from this statement that the equivalent (reverse) to be: <u>Some S is P -> Some P is S</u>

The converse read; <u>Some elderly persons are professional wrestlers</u>

how do ichabod cranes and brom bones individual treatments of the legend of the headless horseman reveal their differing perspec
Inga [223]

Answer:

In Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane and Abraham Van Brunt (AKA Brom Bones) both compete for the hand of Katrina Van Tassel, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy landowner. The rivalry between the two men and the pranks Brom Bones plays on Ichabod all lead to the ill-fated events of the story, in which Ichabod is frightened away from the town by the living embodiment of a local legend, the Headless Horseman. The two men are as different as can be, and Irving makes sure to exaggerate these differences in his descriptions of each character.
