To apply the Law of Detachment and the Law of Syllogism to the given statements:
-
Law of Detachment states that if a conditional statement ("If P, then Q") is true, and P is true, then Q must also be true.
- Given statement: If a person drives a car in the United States (P), then that person must drive on the right side of the road (Q).
- Since Kaylee drives a car in the United States, we can deduce that she must drive on the right side of the road.
Conclusion from Law of Detachment: Kaylee must drive on the right side of the road.
-
Law of Syllogism allows us to combine two conditional statements when the conclusion of one statement is the premise of another.
However, in this case, we only have one statement to work with and thus don’t need the Law of Syllogism.
Therefore, the conclusion we can draw is: Kaylee drives on the right side of the road.
