Question

If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? 1) All foxes have one thin leg. 2) Bucky has a thin leg. 3) Bucky is a fox.

Answer 1

Answer: It can and cannot be true.

Explanation:

Just because Bucky has a thin leg doesn't mean he is a fox. Foxes have many characteristics. Not just a thin leg.

But he might be a fox.

If there was more description, then we can tell for sure if he is a fox or not.

Answer 2

Answer:

If the first two statements are true, then the final statement is probably true. So, the 3rd option – “Bucky is a fox” can be true.

Explanation:

Light on their feet, foxes are somewhat different from the other omnivorous members of the Canidae family. They are blessed with a lithesome frame, a pointed nose, a bushy tail and long, thin legs.

Here, in the second option, it is mentioned that someone or something named Bucky has a thin leg as well. Since, both the options have one common point “thin legs,” so, there is a possibility that this Bucky can be a fox.
