Question

If all Dloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Bazzies, then all Dloops are definitely Bazzies​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, all Bloops are definitely Lazzies.

ASSUMPTIONS

Let Bloops=B

Let Razzies=R

Let Lazzies=L

PREMISES

Sufficient Condition(s):

All B are R, and all R are L

Necessary Condition(s) (Conclusion):

All B are L

ANALYSIS

This argument is an example of the traditional logic of “categorical sentences”, a part of logic that stems from Aristotle.

The first premise states that “all” B are R (no B fails to be R). The second premise adds that all R are L (no R fails to be L). The implied condition is whether or not the two premises necessarily satisfy the condition that all B are L, the necessary condition. In the absence of a Venn diagram, one can inspect the truth value of the argument by analysis:

If all B are R, and all R are L, it only follows that all B are L, since what is true of R, i.e., all R are L, is also true of B since all B are R. So, one can conclude that if the premises are true, the conclusion is true. All Bloops are definitely Lazzies.
