Support Whenever Joe's car is vacuumed, the employees of K & L Auto vacuum it; they are the only people who ever vacuum Joe's car. ██ ███ █████████ ██ █ █ █ ████ ████████ █████ ████ ████ ███ ████ ███ ███ ██ █ █ █ ████ ██ ██ ██████ █████ ███ ███ ████████ █████████ ██████████ ███ ████ ███ ███ ██ █ █ █ ████ ██ ██ ██████
The author concludes that Joe took his car to K & L Auto to be fixed. This conclusion is reached via a conditional chain: if Joe's car is vacuumed, then K & L employees must have vacuumed the car. If K & L employees vacuumed the car, the Joe took his car to K & L be fixed. And the chain is triggered because Joe’s car was recently vacuumed.
To find a match for this argument, the first step is to abstract the reasoning, which is reasonably straightforward for this conditional chain. Combining the two conditional premises, the abstracted argument looks like this:
vacuum → KL employees → KL fix
Joevacuum
______
JoeKL fix
So we're looking for an answer with three elements: two conditional premises forming a conditional chain; a factual premise affirming the first sufficient condition; and a conclusion that the final necessary condition must be true.
Just keep in mind that the logical structure is more important than the form, so the elements might be in a different order, phrased as contrapositives, or otherwise tricky to spot. This makes it important to closely examine attractive answers to ensure that everything truly matches.
