William Shakespeare

Translate the argument into symbolic form and name the inference form: If you study, then you will do well. If you do well, then you will likely be happy. So, If you study , then you will be happy.

"Ah, the complexities of the human mind and the paths we take in search of happiness. If one were to delve into the depths of logic, we must first consider the premise that if one studies, then they will surely excel in their endeavors. A noble pursuit indeed, for knowledge is the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe. And lo, if one does excel in their studies, the likelihood of happiness is great. For is it not true that success often brings contentment and joy? Therefore, it can be inferred that if one were to study diligently and achieve greatness, happiness shall surely follow. The symbolic form of this argument can be translated as follows: P → Q, Q → R, therefore P → R. And the inference form, my dear friends, is the transitive property of implication. Thus, let us not shy away from the pursuit of knowledge, for in it lies the path to true happiness."
