Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mood of the syllogism is EAO, because the major premise is universal negative (E), the minor premise is universal affirmative (A), and the conclusion is particular affirmative (O). The figure is 2, because the middle term (M) is the predicate of both premises and the subject of the conclusion. Thus, the correct answer is EAO-2 (or 2-3-4).
