Answer 1

not possible

Explanation:

The Law of Detachment is:

If p, then q. p is true. We can then conclude q is true.

For example:

If it rains, the grass gets wet. It is raining. Then the grass is wet.

In the problem in this post, it is not possible to use the Law of Detachment because we have:

If p then q. q is true. We are not told p is true, so we cannot conclude q is true.

Answer: not possible
