What is an example of syllogism?

Answer 1

An example of a syllogism might be that all land animals are mammals

most land animals are mammals e.g.: a mammoth but some aren't

e.g., penguins are birds because they have feathers, lay eggs and are warm blodded

they spend half of their time in water and half on land

Answer 2

Read this example of a syllogism carefully:

If an animal is a gorilla, then it is stronger than an orangutan.

If an animal is an orangutan, then it is stronger than a chimpanzee.

Therefore, if an animal is a gorilla, then it is stronger than a chimpanzee.

Answer 3

A syllogism is an argument that includes two premises (pieces of information) and one conclusion. The syllogism will be in the form:

if A, then B

if B, then C

therefore, if A, then C.

The syllogism must be logical and, thus, valid.

An example of a valid syllogism:

---------A--------------------------------B-----

If today is hot, then I will go swimming.

---------B--------------------------------C-----------

If I go swimming, then I will wear sunscreen.

---------------------A------------------------C-----------------

Therefore, if today is hot, then I will wear sunscreen.
