Transcript text: If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? Some instructors are patient. Ramon is an instructor. Ramon is patient. yes no uncertain

Solution

Answer

The answer is uncertain.

Explanation

Option 1: Yes

This option would be correct if the statements logically guaranteed that all instructors are patient. However, the first statement only says "some instructors are patient," which does not imply that all instructors are patient.

Option 2: No

This option would be correct if the statements logically guaranteed that no instructors are patient. However, the first statement indicates that some instructors are patient, so it is possible that Ramon could be one of those patient instructors.

Option 3: Uncertain

This is the correct option because the information provided does not allow us to definitively conclude whether Ramon is patient. The first statement only tells us that some instructors are patient, which means that while Ramon could be patient, he also might not be. Therefore, the truth of the final statement is uncertain based on the given information.
