Question

1. choose the valid conclusion to the deductive reasoning proof.

all plants are yellow.
a tree is a plant.
a tree is a plant.
a tree is yellow.
a tree is blue.
a tree is green

Explanation:

We have two premises: "All plants are yellow" and "A tree is a plant". Using deductive reasoning (specifically syllogism), if all plants are yellow and a tree is a plant, then the tree must inherit the property of being yellow from the plant category. The option "A tree is a plant" is a given premise, not a new conclusion. "A tree is blue" and "A tree is green" contradict the first premise.

Answer:

A tree is yellow.
