Symbolize the following statement. Some baseball players do not take performance-enhancing drugs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement starts with "Some", indicating that there are at least one, but not all baseball players who do not take performance-enhancing drugs. Therefore, we use existential quantifiers. The statement also includes the negation "do not", so we use the negation symbol ~. 
Choice D correctly symbolizes this with the existential quantifier for some baseball players (F1F1F1S1F1F1F10x), the predicate for taking performance-enhancing drugs (Tx), and the negation (~) to indicate that these particular baseball players do not take performance-enhancing drugs.
