Question

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

all plants are yellow.
a tree is a plant.

○ a tree is blue.

○ a tree is yellow.

○ a tree is green

○ a tree is a plant.

Explanation:

We have two premises: "All plants are yellow" and "A tree is a plant". Using deductive reasoning, if all plants have the property of being 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 premise, not a conclusion from the deductive reasoning based on the two statements. The other options (blue, green) do not follow from the given premises.

Answer:

B. A tree is yellow (assuming the second option is labeled B, with the text "A tree is yellow")
