<div data-if="TYPE === 0 || TYPE === 2">
<p>The <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> refers to the <span class="hint_blue">hypothesis</span> of the first sentence, because they both talk about whether or not <var>IMPLICATION[0]</var>.</p>

<div data-if="TYPE === 0" data-unwrap="">
<p>The <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the <span class="hint_blue">hypothesis</span> of the first sentence.</p>
<p>Because the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the <span class="hint_blue">hypothesis</span> of the first sentence, the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> implies the first sentence.</p>
<p>Since we are implying the original statement, we can conclude the <span class="hint_green">conclusion</span> of the first statement.</p>
</div>
<div data-if="TYPE === 1" data-unwrap="">
<p>The <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the <span class="hint_green">conclusion</span> of the first sentence.</p>
<p>Because the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the <span class="hint_green">conclusion</span> of the first sentence, the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> implies the converse of the first sentence.</p>
<p>Converses are not logically equivalent to their original statements, so we cannot form a logical conclusion.</p>
</div>
<div data-if="TYPE === 2" data-unwrap="">
<p>The <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the opposite of the <span class="hint_blue">hypothesis</span> of the first sentence.</p>
<p>Because the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the opposite of the <span class="hint_blue">hypothesis</span> of the first sentence, the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> implies the inverse of the first sentence.</p>
<p>Inverses are not logically equivalent to their original statements, so we cannot form a logical conclusion.</p>
</div>
<div data-if="TYPE === 3" data-unwrap="">
<p>Because the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> states the opposite of the <span class="hint_green">conclusion</span> of the first sentence, the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> implies the contrapositive of the first sentence.</p>
<p>Since the contrapositive is implied by the first sentence, the <span class="hint_purple">second sentence</span> implies the opposite of the <span class="hint_blue">hypothesis</span>.</p>

<p>Do the two sentences come in the form "If <span class="hint_blue">P</span>, then <span class="hint_green">Q</span>. If <span class="hint_red">Q</span>, then <span class="hint_purple">R</span>", where <span class="hint_green">first conclusion</span> and <span class="hint_red">second hypothesis</span> are the same?</p>
<p>In other words, do the sentences look like <code>\blue{P}\implies \green{Q}</code>. <code>\red{Q}\implies \purple{R}</code>?</p>
</div>
<div data-if="CONC_POSSIBLE" data-unwrap="">
<p>Yes. Because the middle two statements both say <span class="hint_green"> <var>HYP_B</var></span>, we can chain the statements together: <code>\blue{P}\implies\green{Q}\implies\purple{R}</code> or <span class="hint_blue">"<var>HYP_A</var>"</span><code>\implies</code><span class="hint_green">"<var>CONC_A</var>"</span><code>\implies</code><span class="hint_purple">"<var>CONC_B</var>"</span>.</p>
<p>We can now remove the middle statement, and arrive at the conclusion <span class="hint_blue">"<var>HYP_A</var>"</span><code>\implies</code><span class="hint_purple">"<var>CONC_B</var>"</span>. So, the answer is "If <span class="hint_blue"> <var>HYP_A</var></span>, then <span class="hint_purple"> <var>CONC_B</var></span>."</p>
</div>
<p data-else="">No. So, we cannot form a logical conclusion.</p>
