I can help you with that. Here's the reasoning: If statement (A) is true, then if Jane cannot bake, she must be not Lisa's sister. But this contradicts statement (C), which states that if Mary can bake, she is Lisa's sister. Therefore, option (A) is false. Option (B) is also false because it states that if Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This contradicts the assumption that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, which means that Sarah must be Lisa's sister. Therefore, option (B) is false. Option (D) is also false because it states that if Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This contradicts statement (A), which states that if Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. Therefore, option (D) is false. Therefore, the correct answer is (C). | |||
✅ | The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" tells us that all the people who are Lisa's sisters have the ability to bake. Let's analyze each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - This could be true since if someone doesn't meet the condition of being able to bake (which applies to all Lisa's sisters), they might not actually be a sibling of Lisa. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - This is false because it contradicts the given statement. According to what we know about Lisa's sisters, if someone can bake, they are likely one of her sisters. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister - This option also contradicts the information provided. If Mary can bake and all of Lisa's sisters can bake, it doesn't necessarily mean that Mary must be Lisa's sister. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake - This statement is not supported by the given condition. Just because someone isn't Lisa's sister doesn't guarantee they lack baking skills. (E) None of these - There seems to be no correct option based on the information provided. Therefore, I conclude that (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister is the most likely true statement among the given options.<|im_end|> | ||
must be true Let's analyze the given statement: "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This means that every sister of Lisa has the ability to bake. Now let's examine each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - We don't know anything about Jane in this statement, so we cannot conclude that she isn't Lisa's sister if she can't bake. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - This contradicts the original statement because it says all of Lisa's sisters can bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister - The original statement tells us that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, so this must be true. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake - Again, the original statement only tells us about Lisa's sisters, not other people like Emma. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. | |||
(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement must be true because the initial statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" implies that at least one of Lisa's sisters can bake. Since we know that all Lisa's sisters can bake and Mary can bake, it follows that Mary is one of Lisa's sisters. (B) and (D) are both false because if Sarah cannot bake or if Jane cannot bake, then their inability to bake does not necessarily mean that they are not Lisa's sisters. Similarly, (A) is also false because if Jane is not Lisa's sister, it doesn't mean that she cannot bake. (E) is also false because there is no indication in the initial statement or its subsequent implications that if Emma is not Lisa's sister then she cannot bake. To summarize, the correct answer is (C). | |||
Let's analyze the given statement: "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This statement implies that every individual who is Lisa's sister has the ability to bake. Now, let's examine each of the options: (A) "If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister" This statement is not necessarily true. Jane might not be able to bake, but still be Lisa's sister, as long as there is at least one other sister who can bake. (B) "If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister" This statement is also not necessarily true. Sarah might be able to bake, but still be Lisa's sister, as long as she is not the only one who can bake. (C) "If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister" This statement is not necessarily true. Mary might be able to bake, but not be Lisa's sister. There could be another individual who is Lisa's sister and can bake. (D) "If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake" This statement is not necessarily true. Emma might not be Lisa's sister, but still be able to bake. (E) "None of these" Given the analysis above, none of the statements must be true. The original statement only implies that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it does not establish a connection between being able to bake and being Lisa's sister or not being Lisa's sister. _____________________ E | |||
(A) B (B) D (C) A (D) E (E) C | |||
(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister Here's the reasoning: 1. The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" means that if someone is Lisa's sister, then they can bake. 2. If we know that Mary can bake, then we are given information that fulfills the condition of being Lisa's sister (as stated in the given statement). Therefore, Mary is Lisa's sister. 3. The other options do not follow logically from the given statement: - A) If Jane cannot bake, it doesn't necessarily mean she is not Lisa's sister. - B) If Sarah can bake, it doesn't mean she is not Lisa's sister. - D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, it doesn't mean she cannot bake (since we don't know anything about Emma). 4. Since option C logically follows from the given statement, that is the correct answer. | |||
✅ | (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister Reasoning: The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" implies that if a person is a sister of Lisa and can bake, then they must be one of Lisa's sisters. Conversely, if a person is not able to bake, they cannot be one of Lisa's sisters. Thus, (A) is the correct answer. | ||
Let's break down the statements and analyze the situation: * "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" means that every person who is a sister of Lisa is capable of baking. Now, let's examine each option: * (A) "If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister": This option is possible. If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister, because Lisa's sisters all can bake. * (B) "If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister": This option is not possible. We cannot conclude that Sarah is not Lisa's sister just because she can bake. There might be other sisters who also bake. * (C) "If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister": This option is not possible. We cannot conclude that Mary is Lisa's sister just because she can bake. We need more information to determine if Mary is Lisa's sister. * (D) "If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake": This option is not possible. If Emma is not Lisa's sister, we cannot conclude that she cannot bake. She might be a friend or acquaintance who also can bake. * (E) "None of these": This option is the correct answer. None of the above options logically follow from the initial statement. New line and the letter corresponding to the correct answer: E | |||
The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" tells us that every sister of Lisa has the ability to bake. Using this information, we can analyze the given options: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement is consistent with the given information. If a woman cannot bake and she is claimed to be Lisa's sister, then it would contradict the initial statement. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement contradicts the given information. The fact that Sarah can bake does not mean she cannot be Lisa's sister. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement is consistent with the given information. If Mary can bake and she is Lisa's sister, then this supports the initial statement. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement is consistent with the given information. If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then her baking ability is irrelevant to the relationship between Lisa and her sisters. (E) None of these. This statement is incorrect because we have identified options (A) and (D) that are consistent with the given information. So, the correct answer is a combination of (A) and (D): A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake</s> | |||
✅ | ✅ | Let's analyze this logically:
1. The given statement is "All of Lisa's sisters can bake."
2. This means that being Lisa's sister implies the ability to bake. However, it doesn't mean that everyone who can bake is Lisa's sister.
3. Let's examine each option:
(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister
This is correct. Since all of Lisa's sisters can bake, anyone who cannot bake cannot be Lisa's sister.
(B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister
This is incorrect. Sarah being able to bake doesn't tell us anything about whether she's Lisa's sister or not.
(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister
This is incorrect. Being able to bake is necessary but not sufficient to be Lisa's sister.
(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake
This is incorrect. Not being Lisa's sister doesn't tell us anything about Emma's baking ability.
(E) None of these
This is incorrect because option (A) is true.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A | |
Let's analyze the given statements step-by-step: 1. "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This statement tells us that at least one of Lisa's sisters is a baker. Now, let's look at the options: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. Since we know that at least one of Lisa's sisters can bake (from statement 1), we can eliminate this option. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement contradicts statement 1, as it claims that Sarah is not Lisa's sister. However, we can't completely rule this option out yet, as there is still the possibility that Lisa has no sisters or only one sister who can bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement aligns with statement 1, as it implies that Mary is indeed one of Lisa's sisters and can bake. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement contradicts statement 1, as it claims that Emma is not Lisa's sister. However, we can't completely rule this option out yet, as there is still the possibility that Lisa has no sisters or only one sister who can bake. (E) None of these Since we have eliminated options A and B (which contradict statement 1) and options C and D (which either align or contradict statement 1), we are left with option E, which states "None of these." So, the correct answer is E) None of these.<|endoftext|> | |||
Reasoning: The given statement only provides information about Lisa's sisters' ability to bake. It does not provide any information about other individuals such as Jane, Sarah, Mary, or Emma. Answer: (E) None of these The given statement does not provide enough information to determine the truth or falsehood of any of the options (A), (B), (C), or (D).</s> | |||
✅ | **Reasoning:** If all of Lisa's sisters can bake, then it logically follows that if a sister cannot bake, she is not Lisa's sister. Therefore, the answer is (A). **Answer:** A<eos> | ||
Given the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," we can infer that any individual who is Lisa's sister must have the ability to bake. Therefore, we can eliminate options (A) and (B) because they suggest that a sister who cannot bake or who can bake is not a sister, which contradicts the given statement. Now, let's consider options (C) and (D): (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This is a valid conclusion because the statement does not rule out the possibility that Mary is Lisa's sister and can bake. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This is not necessarily true. The statement only applies to Lisa's sisters, so if Emma is not a sister, the statement does not apply to her, and we cannot conclude that she cannot bake. Therefore, the correct answer is (C). Final answer: (C) | |||
The answer is (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. If Sarah can bake, but Lisa is not her sister, then Sarah cannot be Lisa's sister.<eos> | |||
Since all of Lisa's sisters can bake, we can deduce the following: (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister The other options do not necessarily follow from the given statement. For example, we cannot conclude that someone who cannot bake is not Lisa's sister (Option A), or that someone who can bake is not Lisa's sister (Option B). Similarly, we cannot infer anything about Emma, as she was not mentioned in the initial statement (Option D). So, the correct answer is: (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister<|im_end|> | |||
✅ | ✅ | To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statement and the implications of each option. The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" means that if someone is Lisa's sister, then they must be able to bake. Let's consider each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister This statement is true because the given statement implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, they can bake. Therefore, if Jane cannot bake, it follows that she is not Lisa's sister. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister This statement is incorrect because the given statement does not imply anything about whether someone who can bake is or is not Lisa's sister. It only states that Lisa's sisters can bake, but it does not exclude the possibility that others who are not her sisters can also bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister This statement is incorrect for the same reason as option (B). The given statement does not imply that anyone who can bake must be Lisa's sister. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake This statement is true because the given statement implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, they can bake. Therefore, if Emma is not Lisa's sister, it follows that she cannot bake. (E) None of these This option is incorrect because options (A) and (D) are true statements based on the given information. Therefore, the correct answer is: A | |
✅ | ✅ | To analyze the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," we need to determine what must also be true given this information. Let's break down the options: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. - This must be true because if Jane were Lisa's sister, she would be able to bake. Since she cannot bake, she cannot be Lisa's sister. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. - This is not necessarily true. Just because Sarah can bake does not mean she cannot be Lisa's sister. In fact, if she is Lisa's sister, she would be able to bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. - This is not necessarily true either. Just because Mary can bake does not mean she must be Lisa's sister. There could be non-sisters who can also bake. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. - This is also not necessarily true. Even if Emma is not Lisa's sister, she could still be someone who can bake. (E) None of these. - Since we found that option (A) is true, this option is incorrect. Considering the analysis, the correct answer is: A | |
Let's break down the given statement: "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." From this statement, we can understand that if someone is Lisa's sister and can bake, it aligns with the truth of the statement. Now let's analyze each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement implies that if Jane cannot bake, she is not related to Lisa as a sister. However, this statement does not directly contradict the given statement, so we cannot confirm it as true. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement contradicts the given statement, as it suggests that if someone (Sarah) can bake and is related to Lisa as a sister, this would be false. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement aligns with the given statement, as it implies that if someone can bake and is related to Lisa as a sister, it is consistent with the truth of the given statement. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement does not directly contradict or align with the given statement. It introduces a new character (Emma), and we cannot determine anything about her baking abilities based on the given statement. (E) None of these. This option suggests that none of the given statements follow from the given statement. However, option (C) does follow from the given statement. Based on our analysis, the correct answer is (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister.<|im_end|> | |||
✅ | ✅ | Let's analyze each statement: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - If Jane cannot bake, it means she is not one of Lisa's sisters. - So, this statement is true. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - If Sarah can bake, it means she is one of Lisa's sisters. - So, this statement is false. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister - If Mary can bake, it means she is one of Lisa's sisters. - So, this statement is true. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake - If Emma is not Lisa's sister, we cannot conclude whether she can bake or not. - So, this statement is false. (E) None of these - We have identified true statements in options (A) and (C), so this statement is false. Therefore, the correct answer is: (A)<|im_end|> | |
(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake.</s> | |||
Let's analyze the given information and each option step by step: 1. "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." - This statement tells us that every sister of Lisa has a baking ability. Now let's examine each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - This option doesn't follow from the given information. The fact that Jane cannot bake does not necessarily mean she is not Lisa's sister. She could still be Lisa's sister and not know how to bake. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - This statement contradicts the initial one because it assumes that there exists a person (Sarah) who can bake but is not Lisa's sister. However, according to our given information, all of Lisa's sisters can bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister - This option also doesn't follow from the given information. The fact that Mary can bake does not necessarily mean she is Lisa's sister. She could still be unrelated to Lisa and know how to bake. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake - This statement assumes a necessary connection between being related to Lisa and having the ability to bake. However, this information is not provided in the given statements. It may very well be that someone who is not Lisa's sister can still know how to bake, or vice versa. (E) None of these - Since none of the other options are necessarily true based on the given statement, this option must be correct. Therefore, after considering each statement and option, I conclude that: (E) None of these | |||
If the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" is true, then it logically follows that anyone who is Lisa's sister and can bake is part of the group described in the statement. Therefore, the correct answer is: (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister Answer: C<|end|> | |||
(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake | |||
Let's analyze each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This is true. If all of Lisa's sisters can bake and Jane cannot bake, then Jane cannot be one of Lisa's sisters. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This is false. The statement only tells us that Lisa's sisters can bake, but it does not exclude the possibility that Sarah, who can bake, is one of Lisa's sisters. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister: This is true. If all of Lisa's sisters can bake and Mary can bake, then Mary must be one of Lisa's sisters. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake: This is not necessarily true. The statement only tells us that Lisa's sisters can bake, but it does not exclude the possibility that Emma, who is not a sister, can also bake. So, based on the given statements, the correct answer is: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister These two options must be true according to the information provided.<|end_of_turn|> | |||
✅ | ✅ | To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statement and determine which of the given options must be true if the statement is true. The given statement is: "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." Let's consider the options: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This is true because the statement says that all of Lisa's sisters can bake. If Jane cannot bake, then she cannot be one of Lisa's sisters. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This is false. The statement says that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, so if Sarah can bake, she must be Lisa's sister. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This is true. The statement says that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, so if Mary can bake, she must be Lisa's sister. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This is false. The statement does not provide any information about non-sisters, so we cannot conclude that if Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. (E) None of these. This is false, as options (A) and (C) are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is: A | |
✅ | ✅ | Here's the reasoning: The original statement tells us that *all* of Lisa's sisters have the ability to bake. Let's look at the options: * **(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister** - This is the correct answer. If someone can't bake and is Lisa's sister, it would violate the original statement that *all* of Lisa's sisters can bake. The other options are not necessarily true: * **(B)** We don't know if Sarah is Lisa's sister. * **(C)** We don't know if Mary is Lisa's sister. * **(D)** Emma could be someone else's sister. **A** | |
✅ | ✅ | Let's analyze each answer choice: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister This statement is logically equivalent to the original statement. If all of Lisa's sisters can bake, then anyone who cannot bake is not Lisa's sister. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister This is incorrect. The original statement does not imply that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Sarah could be able to bake without being Lisa's sister. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister This is incorrect. The original statement does not imply that everyone who can bake is Lisa's sister. Mary could be able to bake without being Lisa's sister. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake This is incorrect. The original statement does not imply anything about people who are not Lisa's sisters. Emma could be able to bake even if she is not Lisa's sister. (E) None of these This is incorrect because answer choice (A) is a logically equivalent statement to the original. A | |
✅ | ✅ | If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister A | |
✅ | ✅ | The original statement tells us that all of Lisa's sisters have the ability to bake. This means if someone can bake, they *could* be Lisa's sister, but it doesn't guarantee it. Let's analyze the options: * **(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister:** This is true. If Jane can't bake, she doesn't fit the criteria of Lisa's sisters. * **(B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister:** This is false. Sarah could bake and still be Lisa's sister. * **(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister:** This is false. Mary could be a great baker and have no relation to Lisa. * **(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake:** This is false. Emma could be a fantastic baker without being related to Lisa.

✅ | ✅ | The statement tells us that being Lisa's sister is sufficient for being able to bake. This me The correct answer is the contrapositive of the statement. <br> **A** | |
Correct answer: (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister Explanation: The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" means that all sisters of Lisa can bake. Among these sisters, Mary is explicitly stated as Lisa's sister. Therefore, if Mary can bake (which is true), then she must be Lisa's sister (answer C). Now, let's analyze the other options: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement contradicts the given information about Lisa's sisters, so it cannot be true. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. Again, this statement contradicts the given information about Lisa's sisters, so it cannot be true. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement also contradicts the given information about Lisa's sisters, so it cannot be true. (E) None of these statements are true. Since answer C is correct, none of the given statements can be true at the same time. | |||
Based on the given statement, "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," the correct answer is: (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. Explanation: The statement tells us that all of Lisa's sisters have the ability to bake. Therefore, if someone is identified as Lisa's sister and can bake, then the statement is consistent. If Mary is Lisa's sister and she can bake, then the statement holds true. Conversely, if Mary is Lisa's sister but cannot bake, the statement would still be true because the statement only requires that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, not that they all must bake. The other options are not necessarily true based on the given statement. For example, if Jane cannot bake but is Lisa's sister, the statement would still be true (since all of Lisa's sisters can bake). Similarly, Sarah or Emma could be Lisa's sisters and still be able to bake, making options (A) and (D) incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is (C). | |||
✅ | **Reasoning:** If "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," then each of Lisa's sisters has the ability to bake. Therefore, if a sister cannot bake, she cannot be Lisa's sister. **Answer:** (A) | ||
✅ | **Answer: (A)** Since all of Lisa's sisters can bake, and Jane is not Lisa's sister, then Jane cannot bake. | ||
✅ | ✅ | The given statement is "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This implies that being able to bake is a necessary condition for being one of Lisa's sisters, but it does not imply that everyone who can bake is Lisa's sister. (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This must be true because the statement implies that all of Lisa's sisters can bake. Therefore, if someone cannot bake, they cannot be Lisa's sister. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement is incorrect because being able to bake does not necessarily mean someone is not Lisa's sister; it just means they meet one of the qualifications to possibly be Lisa's sister. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement is incorrect because while all of Lisa's sisters can bake, not everyone who can bake has to be Lisa's sister. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement is incorrect because the original statement does not imply that only Lisa's sisters can bake, just that all of Lisa's sisters can. (E) None of these. This option is incorrect because option (A) is logically derived from the given statement. Therefore, the correct answer is: A | |
The correct answer is: (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister | |||
✅ | ✅ | Let's analyze the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This statement implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, then they can bake. It does not imply anything about people who are not Lisa's sisters. Now, let's examine the options: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This option is a logical conclusion from the original statement. If all of Lisa's sisters can bake, and Jane cannot bake, then Jane must not be Lisa's sister. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This option is incorrect. The original statement only implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, they can bake. It does not imply that anyone who can bake is Lisa's sister. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister: This option is also incorrect for the same reason as (B). (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake: This option is incorrect because the original statement only talks about Lisa's sisters, it does not imply anything about people who are not Lisa's sisters. (E) None of these: Since option (A) is a logical conclusion from the original statement, this option is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is: (A) | |
✅ | ✅ | The statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake" implies that the ability to bake is a characteristic shared by all of Lisa's sisters. It does not necessarily imply that only Lisa's sisters can bake or that everyone who can bake is Lisa's sister. Let's analyze each option based on this: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. - This is true. If it is known that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, and Jane cannot bake, then Jane cannot be one of Lisa's sisters. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. - This is false. The fact that Sarah can bake does not exclude her from being Lisa's sister. Sarah could still potentially be one of Lisa's sisters. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. - This is false. Just because Mary can bake doesn't mean she has to be Lisa's sister. Baking could be a skill Mary has independently of her relationship to Lisa. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. - This is false. Emma not being Lisa's sister does not prevent her from being able to bake; non-sisters can also bake. (E) None of these. - This is false because option (A) is a correct implication of the original statement. Correct answer: A | |

The correct answer is (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister.
The initial statement tells us that every one of Lisa's sisters has the ability to bake. This implies a conditional relationship where being able to bake is necessary to be one of Lisa's sisters. Therefore, if Jane cannot bake, we can conclude that she would not meet the criteria to be Lisa's sister, according to the given conditions.
You are a logician asked to evaluate a complex scenario with multiple constraints. Analyze the following information and deduce the correct conclusion. Provide your reasoning, then conclude with a new line and the letter corresponding to the correct answer.
"In a family, all of the uncles can play the guitar. None of the cousins can play the piano, and every cousin who can play the guitar has won a music award."
If the statement above is true, which of the following must also be true?
(A) If Uncle Jack has won a music award, then he plays the guitar
(B) If Cousin Lucas cannot play the guitar, then he has never won a music award
(C) If Cousin Emily has won a music award, she must play the guitar
(D) If Uncle Albert can play the piano, then he is not an uncle
(E) None of these | ||
According to the first statement, anyone related to Lisa by sisterhood possesses the ability to bake. Options A, B, and D describe situations where an individual either is or is not Lisa's sister, and in both cases, they can bake, so they contradict the idea that only Lisa's sisters bake. Only C reinforces the initial statement; If Mary can bake, there's a chance she's Lisa's sister because, according to the given condition, all of Lisa's sisters can bake. C. | |||
Let's analyze each statement: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - If Jane cannot bake, it doesn't necessarily mean she is not Lisa's sister. There could be other sisters who can bake. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister - This contradicts the given statement, which says all of Lisa's sisters can bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister - This would mean Mary is one of Lisa's sisters, which is possible. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake - This statement would be true, as Emma not being a sister means she cannot be one of the sisters who can bake. (E) None of these - Since statement D is true, this option is not correct. So, the correct answer is (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. | |||
✅ | ✅ | Given the statement "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," we need to determine which of the following options must also be true. Let's analyze each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. - This must be true. If Jane cannot bake, she cannot be one of Lisa's sisters because all of Lisa's sisters can bake. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. - This is not necessarily true. Sarah could be a sister who can bake, but it doesn't state that she cannot be Lisa's sister. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. - This is not necessarily true. Mary could be someone who can bake but is not necessarily one of Lisa's sisters. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. - This is not necessarily true. Emma could be someone who is not Lisa's sister but can still bake. (E) None of these. - This is incorrect because option (A) is true. So, the correct answer is: A | |
✅ | ✅ | The statement says "All of Lisa's sisters can bake". This implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, they can bake. Let's analyze each option: * **(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister:** This is true. The statement implies that only Lisa's sisters can bake, so if someone cannot bake, they cannot be Lisa's sister. * **(B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister:** This is not necessarily true. The statement says all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it doesn't say that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Sarah could be someone else who can bake. * **(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister:** This is not necessarily true. The statement says all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it doesn't say that everyone who can bake is Lisa's sister. Mary could be someone else who can bake. * **(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake:** This is not necessarily true. The statement says all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it doesn't say that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Emma could be someone else who can bake. * **(E) None of these:** We have already identified one true statement (A). **Therefore, the correct answer is (A).** | |
Given statement: "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This implies that every sister Lisa has is capable of baking. Now, let's examine the options: (A) "If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister" - This option suggests an inverse correlation between Jane's baking ability and her relationship with Lisa. However, the given statement makes no mention or implication of Jane, or of any correlation between baking and the sisterhood. So, this cannot be inferred. (B) "If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister" - This option suggests a direct correlation between Sarah's baking ability and her sisterhood with Lisa. This contradicts the given statement, which directly says all of Lisa's sisters can bake. (C) "If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister" - This option mirrors the given statement. It suggests that if Mary can bake, she must be one of Lisa's sisters because they all can bake. (D) "If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake" - This option attempts to maintain the condition given in the initial statement. If someone is not a sister, they're not included in 'Lisa's sisters', so logically they wouldn't be able to bake as it's stated all of Lisa's sisters can bake. Hence, this option is consistent with the given statement. (E) "None of these" - This choice suggests that none of the options above must necessarily be true. However, we have concluded that option (D) is true based on the given statement. So the correct answer is (D). | |||
✅ | Let's analyze each statement: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This statement implies that if Jane cannot bake, then she does not have the ability to bake, which is true for all of Lisa's sisters. So, this statement must be true. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister: This statement implies that if Sarah can bake, then she cannot be one of Lisa's sisters. However, the given statement says that "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," which means that Sarah, being one of Lisa's sisters, can also bake. So, this statement cannot be true. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister: This statement implies that if Mary can bake, then she must be one of Lisa's sisters. However, the given statement only says that "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," it does not imply that all sisters who can bake are Lisa's sisters. So, this statement cannot be true. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake: This statement implies that if Emma is not one of Lisa's sisters, then she cannot bake. However, the given statement says that "All of Lisa's sisters can bake," which means that Emma, being Lisa's sister, can also bake. So, this statement cannot be true. (E) None of these: Since statement (A) is true, the correct answer is (A). | ||
Given that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, let's analyze each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement implies that if Jane cannot bake, we can conclude she is not one of Lisa's sisters, given our initial premise. This is logically sound because if Jane cannot bake and all of Lisa's sisters can bake, then Jane must not be one of Lisa's sisters. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement is not necessarily true. We know that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but we don't know if Sarah is one of those sisters or not. If Sarah can bake and is one of Lisa's sisters, then the statement is false. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement could be true if Mary is one of the sisters who can bake. However, it's also possible that Mary cannot bake and still be Lisa's sister, as long as some other sister can bake instead. Therefore, this statement is not necessarily true based solely on the given information. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement is logically sound if we interpret "Emma" as a placeholder for any potential sister of Lisa. If Emma (whether she's a sister or not) cannot bake, and we know all of Lisa's sisters can bake, then Emma must not be one of Lisa's sisters. This is because if Emma were one of Lisa's sisters, she would have to be able to bake, given the initial premise. Given the analysis above, the most accurate answers are (A) and (D), as they follow logically from the given statement. However, since the question asks which one must also be true, the best answer is: (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake.<|im_end|> | |||
✅ | ✅ | To solve this, let's break down the given statement: "All of Lisa's sisters can bake." This means that if someone is a sister of Lisa, then they must be able to bake. Now, let's examine each option: (A) "If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister." If Jane cannot bake, and all of Lisa's sisters can bake, then by the given statement, Jane cannot be Lisa's sister. This option aligns with the given statement. (B) "If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister." This statement contradicts the given information because if Sarah can bake, and all of Lisa's sisters can bake, then it's possible that Sarah is Lisa's sister. This option does not follow from the given statement. (C) "If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister." This statement is not necessarily true. Just because Mary can bake, it does not automatically mean she is Lisa's sister. The given statement only tells us that if someone is Lisa's sister, then they can bake. It does not imply that all bakers are Lisa's sisters. (D) "If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake." This statement contradicts the given information. If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then the ability to bake is not predicated on being Lisa's sister. There could be other reasons (or people) who can bake without being Lisa's sister. This option does not follow from the given statement. (E) "None of these." Since option (A) is consistent with the given statement, this option is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. New line A<|im_end|> | |
Let's analyze each option: (A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement suggests that only Lisa's sisters can bake. However, the initial statement only tells us that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, not that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Therefore, this statement does not necessarily follow from the initial statement. (B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister. This statement is not guaranteed by the initial statement. Just because Sarah can bake does not mean she cannot be Lisa's sister, as the initial statement only establishes that all of Lisa's sisters can bake. (C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister. This statement is also not guaranteed by the initial statement. The initial statement only tells us that all of Lisa's sisters can bake; it does not say that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Therefore, Mary being able to bake does not necessarily mean she is Lisa's sister. (D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake. This statement is the contrapositive of the initial statement. The initial statement tells us that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, which is logically equivalent to saying if someone is not Lisa's sister, then they cannot bake. However, the initial statement only establishes that all of Lisa's sisters can bake, not that everyone else cannot. So, while this statement aligns with the logical structure of the initial statement, it goes beyond what we can conclude from the given information. (E) None of these. Given the information in the initial statement, none of the options necessarily follow. The initial statement only provides information about Lisa's sisters and their ability to bake, but it does not exclude the possibility of other individuals who can bake or are not Lisa's sisters. Therefore, the most accurate conclusion based on the options provided is: E) None of these.<|im_end|> | |||
