For a computer to be intelligent

   Bad Conclusion Match7% picked this

   Every vaccine is either an attenuated-virus vaccine, a dead-virus vaccine, or a pure DNA vaccine. Vaccine X cannot fall into the last two categories,

   This does provide a conditional with an "at least one of these options" outcome. Vaccine → attenuated-virus, dead-virus vaccine, or pure DNA We now need a premise that rules out two of these categories for Thing X, and then a conditional conclusion that says "If thing X is a vaccine, then it must be that last option". But this conclusion is not a conditional. We already know it's a vaccine. In the original, we heard that "at least one of these options" must be true for Intelligence, but we didn't ever know that AR3000 was intelligent.

   Every commonly used vaccine is either a dead-virus vaccine, an attenuated-virus vaccine, or a pure DNA vaccine. Vaccine X is not a dead-or attenuated-virus

   Why this is right

   This has a conditional premise with a set of "at least one must be true" options. Common → attenuated-virus , dead-virus vaccine , or pure DNA Used vaccine We now need a premise that rules out two of these categories for vaccine X, and then a conditional conclusion that says "If vaccine X is a commonly used vaccine, then it must be that last option". The second premise says Vaccine X is not dead-virus and not attenuated-virus. The conclusion is indeed conditional and says, Vaccine X is commonly used vaccine → pure DNA.

   Missing 2nd Premise9% picked this

   Every vaccine is either a dead-virus vaccine, an attenuated-virus vaccine, or a pure DNA vaccine. Thus, if vaccine X is not a dead-or attenuated-virus

   This only has one premise, so it's not going to be able to match the original. We needed one premise that says "to be ___ , you got to be at least one of these three things" and then a second premise that said, "but thing X isn't two of those".
