Answer: (A) If it is a bib, then it is a bab

Explanation:

p: The bib is a bub.

Rewrite it as: If it is a bib, then it is a bub.

  • hypothesis: It is a bib
  • conclusion: It is a bub

q: The bub is a bab.

Rewrite it as: If it is a bub, then it is a bab

  • hypothesis: It is a bub
  • conclusion: It is a bab

The conclusion of p equals the hypothesis of q so the Law of Syllogism can be applied --> hypothesis of p → conclusion of q
