HUGE QUESTION I NEED ANSWERED. I'm giving a brainliest and 98 points to whoever answers correct.

Read the following three statements. Use the Law of Detachment and the Law of Syllogism to draw a conclusion.

If an elephant weighs more than 2,000 pounds, then it weighs more than Jill’s car.
If something weighs more than Jill’s car, then it is too heavy for the bridge.
Smiley the Elephant weighs 2,150 pounds.

A. Smiley is too heavy for the bridge.

B. Smiley weighs more than Jill’s car.

C. Smiley weighs more than 2000 pounds, then Smiley is too heavy for the bridge.

D. If Smiley weighs more than Jill’s car, then Smiley is too heavy for the bridge.

Respuesta :

Astute

So in this question, it' stated that a(n) elephant in general, if it would be over the amount of Jill's car, (x) then we do know that it does wiegh more then Jills car and also that it is pretty much no qualified to cross the bridge.

How do we know this, and gather some details.

1.) So, Smiley the Elephant wieghs (2,150).

2.) Something wieghing over 2,000 wieghs more than Jills car.

3.) Anything over Jills car weight may NOT cross the bridge.

_______________________________________________________

Therefore we do see the results.

Option C gives best detail rather then the other options.


Hi There!

The 3 statements provided always point out that Jills car is 2000 pounds and anything over that weight is too heavy for the bridge and in this case Smiley is to heavy for the bridge.

Answer: C. Smiley weighs more than 2000 pounds, then Smiley is too heavy for the bridge.

Hope This helps :)
