1 answer

If we let
a = she studies for the exam
b = she goes to the market
c = she cleans her room
d = she practices her sport

I) a -> b
II) ~c -> a
III) ~d -> ~b

A) ~b -> ~d
B) a -> d (yes - transitivity)
C) ~b -> d
D) c -> b

B is true because the contrapositive of III is b -> d

So, a -> b -> d
