Question 294680: Hello,
Can someone please help me with this problem. I think the answer is its a fallacy by deductive reasoning but I am not sure.
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 Sally is on vacation, then Tom is at work.
If Tom is at work, then the line at the post office is long.
Therefore, if Sally is on vacation, then the line at the post office is long.
Thank you. You guys are great for helping people like me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! I find it amazing that a student of logic could think that this is a mixture word problem.
Do you see the logical fallacy in that?
