\item \ifassignmentsheet \points{4} \fi Consider the following natural deduction proof for the sequent $$\forall x \; (P(x)\imp Q(x)), \quad \exists x \; P(x) \quad \ent \quad \forall x Q(x).$$
Is the proof correct? If not, explain the error in the proof and either show how to correctly prove the sequent, or give a counterexample that proves the sequent invalid.
