Answer:
The statement is using the law of syllogism, and it is valid
Option D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = you drive a car without an adult
b = you are at least 16 years old
c = you should remember your mom's birthday
Statements 1 and 2 are the premises, and they can be wrttiten as:
1) If a, then b
2) If b, then c
Statement 3 is the conclusion, and can be interpreted as:
3) If a, then c.
This is according to the law of syllogism which states that:
If a, then b
If b, then c
Then we can conclude that:
If a, then c
Since these statements obey the law of syllogism, the conclusion is valid
