In the movie, Legally Blonde, Elle uses reasoning to prove to her fellow lawyers that their client did not kill her husband. Elle states, "Exercising gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happy people just don't kill their husbands, they just don't." Elle demonstrates the law of syllogism, which allows her to state a conclusion from two true conditional statements when the conclusion of one statement is the hypothesis of the other. Assuming that Elle's logic is sound, which of the following statements is NOT true? a) People who exercise don't kill their husbands. b) People who exercise are happy. c) People who do not kill their husbands are happy. d) People who kill their husbands are unhappy. answer |
