Hello Mark, Think about what is being said in these sentences. In sentence 1, "fool" is being predicated to whom? The answer is "all those who make their doctors their heirs". As such, the following is an answer to number 1: "All those who make their doctors their heirs are those who are fools." The subject term is "those who make their doctors their heirs," and the predicate term is "those who are fools." It is a universal affirmative statement. The solution to the other two questions are solved in the same way. Find out what is being predicated to whom and you are well on your way. Sincerely, Brian
