Answer: no

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

No

Step-by-step explanation:

This argument does not follow the Law of Syllogism, because the hypothesis "If we go for a bike ride" is matched by the statement "then it is a beautiful day." This conclusion is based on the premisse: "If it is a beautiful day, then we will go for a ride." Whereas the Law of Syllogism has two general statements that lead to a particular one.
