I believe the correct answer is Every time my brother smiles, he laughs thirty seconds later. My brother just smiled. Therefore, he will laugh in under a minute.

All the other statements are of subjective nature. The claims they make are not verifiable in any way. They can't be regarded as either true or false, nor is there a cause and effect relation between their parts. Only the fourth statement has a form of a syllogism, where the conclusion stems from premises which are presumed to be true.
