Option 1: Saks promotes gift cards.
Option 2: Macy's puts on a fashion show.
Option 3: Bloomingdale's puts on a fashion show.
Option 4: Saks does not promote gift cards.

Answer 1

In this logical statement, if Saks promotes gift cards, then either Macy's or Bloomingdale's puts on a fashion show.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is logic. In this logical statement, we have four options or conditions: Option 1: Saks promotes gift cards (S). Option 2: Macy's puts on a fashion show (M). Option 3: Bloomingdale's puts on a fashion show (B). Option 4: Saks does not promote gift cards (~S). The statement provides a conditional relationship between Option 1 and either Option 2 or Option 3, indicating that if Saks promotes gift cards (S), then either Macy's or Bloomingdale's puts on a fashion show (M ∨ B). This statement can be represented symbolically as S → (M ∨ B).
