    There are three rules of inference are used in the sentence.

    1) Universal Instantiation, if x is a man, then x is not an island" and "If Manhattan is a man, then Manhattan is not an island."

    2) Contrapositive, If Manhattan is an island, then Manhattan is not a man."

    3) Applying modus ponens or modus tollens. We derive the result that Manhattan is not a man.
