Question

What kind of syllogism is illustrated is the following set of statements? "If I get eight hours of sleep, I will feel rested in the morning. I will sleep for eight hours tonight. Therefore, I will feel rested in the morning."

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a conditional syllogism

Explanation:

It is a conditional syllogism. In a conditional system the statement goes as follows: “If A is true then B is also true”. The conclusion of a conditional syllogism is simple, and it could be inferred by the statement. In this example, the statement goes: "If I get eight hours of sleep, I will feel rested in the morning. I will sleep for eight hours tonight. Therefore, I will feel rested in the morning. "If I get eight hours of sleep” is statement A. “I will feel rested in the morning” is statement B. Consequently, if A is true then B is also true: “I will sleep for eight hours tonight. Therefore, I will feel rested in the morning”.
