    Answer = false. This is like saying,

    Everyone in Ireland likes food, bob likes food, therefore bob is in Ireland.

    False. That set of statements forms a syllogism

    with an undistributed middle.

    It's nice that all the students in Miss Osbourne's class like pizza.

    You can be sure that if you meet a student from Miss Osbourne's

    class, you've met a student who likes pizza.

    But they are not an exclusive club. They are not the only students

    in the world who like pizza. There are other people in the world who

    also like pizza. When you meet a student who likes pizza, he may be

    one of those others. He may never have even heard of Miss Osbourne.
