Denny asked: Premise: "Two boys are playing ball in an alley."
Hypothesis: "Two kids are playing basketball."
Is the hypothesis entailed by the premise?
Options:
- yes
- it is not possible to tell
- no.
Le: OK, so how can I answer with some explanation?
There are all kinds of different games that could be referred to as 'ball' so it is unsafe to assume that the boys are playing basketball.
The answer: it is not possible to tell.
