Answer 1

Premise: Every professor at Fillmore University teaches exactly one class per semester.

Conclusion: Fillmore's Professor Jackson is teaching exactly one class this semester. Moreover, the speaker heard Professor Jackson say she was teaching only a single class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The premise establishes a general rule that every professor at Fillmore University teaches exactly one class per semester. The conclusion then applies this rule to Professor Jackson, stating that she is teaching exactly one class this semester. The additional information about having heard Professor Jackson confirm that she is teaching only a single class supports and reinforces the conclusion.

In summary, the conclusion is drawn by applying the general premise about professors at Fillmore University to the specific case of Professor Jackson, and the heard statement from Professor Jackson herself further reinforces this conclusion.
