Answer:

Hailey got a higher grade than Sarah, Sarah got a higher grade than Adan

therefore Hailey got a higher grade than Adam.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 next answers don't really make sense logically. Not all apples are red and not definetly all candies in there are green. And just because Nathan and his neighbor are hispanic, that doesn't make the whole neighborhood hispanic.

The first answer is actually deductive reasoning. You deduce that Hailey must have a higher grade than Adan.
