ANSWER:SolutionStep 1(a)Let us assume that CL(x) where x be a no of student in the class , RED(x) where x be a student who own the red convertible and SPEED(x) where x be a student in the class who gotten speeding ticket.Now, we have to establish a premiseCL(LINDA)RED(LINDA)x ( CL(x) RED(x) ) Then Conclusion must beCL(LINDA) SPEED(LINDA) (Conjunction)x ( CL(x) SPEED(x) ) (Existential Generalization)
