Denny asked: Premise: "A man is selecting a chair from a stack under a shady awning."
Hypothesis: "The man was getting a chair for his wife."
Do we know that the hypothesis entailed by the premise?.
Le: OK, so how can I answer with some explanation?
Selecting a chair does not necessarily imply intent to take. Selecting a chair does not imply he is taking it for his wife.
The answer: it is not possible to tell.
