No, the proposition is in standard form.

Answer 1

C. Yes. The standard form is "No pencils are things that fly."

Answer 2

The statement "Pencils don't fly" needs to be rephrased in standard categorical form. The standard form for a negative universal proposition is "No S are P," where S is the subject and P is the predicate. Here, "pencils" is the subject and "things that fly" is the predicate.
