Final answer:
We cannot draw a conclusion about the weather using the Law of Detachment based on the statements provided because the condition that the weather is stormy was not given.
Therefore, the correct answer is: option "not possible".
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves using the Law of Detachment, which is a principle in logic used in deductive reasoning and proofs.
The Law of Detachment states that if the hypothesis of a conditional statement is true, then the conclusion is also true. The two statements given are:
- Driving is difficult if the weather is stormy.
- Driving is difficult.
By applying the Law of Detachment, we cannot draw a conclusion about the weather. This is because the conditional statement was not triggered, we do not have a statement claiming the weather is stormy.
Therefore, the only conclusion that can be drawn from the second statement alone without an explicit link to stormy weather is that driving is difficult for some reason, but that reason has not been established.
The possible conclusions available, The weather is not stormy, The weather is stormy, not possible, and If driving is difficult, then the weather is stormy, do not follow logically from the Law of Detachment with the information given. Thus, the correct option would be not possible.
