Answer 1

The Law of Syllogism was used to conclude that if it snows tomorrow, Sam will have another day to study for his quiz.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Syllogism was used to conclude that if it snows tomorrow, Sam will have another day to study for his quiz.

In this case, the Law of Syllogism is applied by combining the first statement "If it snows tomorrow, there will be a snow day" with the second statement "If tomorrow is a snow day, Sam will have another day to study for his quiz."

By applying the Law of Syllogism, we can conclude that if it snows tomorrow, Sam will have another day to study for his quiz.
