If two logicians are putting an argument into standard form, is it possible that they would use two different syllogism types? (E.g., one would make it a categorical syllogism and the other would make it disjunctive.)
A) Yes, because every syllogism can be represented equally well as categorical, hypothetical, or disjunctive.
B) Yes, because some syllogisms can be represented equally well by more than one type of syllogism.
C) Yes, but only if one of them made a mistake.
D) No, because there is only one correct type for each syllogism.
E) No, because no syllogism can ever be represented equally well by two different syllogism types.
