Student asked: Premise: "A man in a white hat walks down the street while a man in a white hat stands with his arms crossed on the street corner."
Hypothesis: "A man in the white hat is sleeping in the middle of the street as the other man watches."
Is the hypothesis entailed by the premise?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no
Teacher's response: Let's think. Either the first man is walking down the street or he is sleeping in the middle of the street. Either the second man only stands there or he watches the first man sleep. Neither situation can happen simultaneously at the same time to the same people. The answer is no.
