11. If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, then all Bloops are definitely Lazzies?
- True◀ Correct Answer
- False
This question assesses your fluid reasoning and logical deduction skills by testing your ability to understand and apply transitive relationships in categorical syllogisms. The statement "If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies" sets up a hierarchical relationship between three categories: Bloops, Razzies, and Lazzies.
According to the premises:
- All Bloops are Razzies.
- All Razzies are Lazzies.
From these premises, we can logically deduce that all Bloops are Lazzies. This follows the transitive property in logic, where if A is a subset of B, and B is a subset of C, then A is a subset of C.
To illustrate this further, consider a similar example with concrete terms:
- All roses are flowers.
- All flowers are plants.
Therefore, all roses are plants.
In both cases, the conclusion is valid because the relationships are transitive and the premises are universal affirmatives (statements that declare all members of one category belong to another). This type of reasoning is fundamental in logical deduction and syllogistic logic.
Therefore, the statement "All Bloops are definitely Lazzies" is True.
