Question 416425: If the argument below is valid, name which of the four valid forms of argument is represented. If it is not valid, name the fallacy that is represented.

If I catch the bus on time, then I am not late to work.
If I am not late to work, then I will get a raise.
Therefore, if I catch the bus on time, then I will get a raise.

This is a valid argument because it is in the form of a hypothetical syllogism.

Remember, the basic form of a hypothetical syllogism is

1. If P, then Q
2. If Q, then R
----------------
3. If P, then R

Note: we're assuming statements 1) and 2) are true, which shows that statement 3) follows.
