Please arrange in a correct order steps of the given argument in logical form.
"Everyone in New Jersey lives within 50 miles of the ocean. Someone in New Jersey has never seen the ocean. Therefore,
someone who lives within 50 miles of the ocean has never seen the ocean."

- : (*) VxP(x) Hypothesis
Let P(x) = "x lives within 50 miles of the ocean", and Q(x) = "x has never seen the ocean"
with the domain of the variable consisting of all people who live in New Jersey.

The argument in the logical form:
"Everyone in New Jersey lives within 50 miles of the ocean"= XP(x)
"Someone in New Jersey has never seen the ocean" = 3xQ(x)
Someone who lives within 50 miles of the ocean has never seen the ocean =
3x(P(x) ^ Q(x))

Steps below show that the premises "Linda, a student in this class, owns a red convertible" and "Everyone who owns a red
convertible has gotten at least one speeding ticket" imply conclusion "Someone in this class has gotten a speeding ticket."
Fill in the blanks.
Let R(x) = "x owns a red convertible", S(x) = "x has gotten at least one speeding ticket", and C(x) = "x is a student in our class",
where the domain of x consists of all people in the world.
Premises in logical form, therefore, will be C(linda), C(Linda) a R(Linda) and Vx(R(x)
→ S(x)).
(1) Vx(R(x)→ S(x))
(2) R(Linda) → S(Linda)
