Answer:

B. Law of syllogism.

Explanation:

The deductive reasoning behind the set of arguments is the Law of Syllogism, defined by the following logical rule:

1) \alpha \Rightarrow \beta

2) \beta \Rightarrow \gamma

Hence,

3) \alpha \Rightarrow \gamma

In this case, we have three simple propositions:

\alpha = A number ends in 0.

\beta = A number is divisible by 10.

\gamma = A number is divisible by 5.

The reasoning represented by the consecutive arguments is:

1) If a number ends in 0, then it is divisible by 10.

2) If a number is divisible by 10, then it is divisible by 5.

Hence,

3) If a number ends in 0, then it is divisible by 5.

The frigid temperatures have allowed a lake to become ready for people to ice fish on it. What process has the lake undergone? ​
Burka [1]

Answer:

When the entire lake reaches 40 F, the surface water cools further, dropping below 40 F. Because this water is now less dense than the surrounding water, it will stay on the top and continue to cool. Once the surface water falls to 32 F, it freezes. The freezing then spreads downward into the lake and the ice thickens
