Choose your answer from options. Premise: "Now the shadows shifted all around them." If this premise is true, what does that tell us about whether it entails the hypothesis "The shadows were shifting all around them."?

Options: A. yes; B. it is not possible to tell; C. no;<|im_end|>

A. yes

The premise states that "Now the shadows shifted all around them." This directly implies that the shadows were shifting around them at that specific moment. Therefore, it entails the hypothesis "The shadows were shifting all around them."

B and C are incorrect because the statement in the premise clearly indicates that the shadows were indeed shifting, making it possible to tell and confirming the hypothesis.<|im_end|>

 Sure, I'd be happy to help! Based on the premise "Now the shadows shifted all around them," we can infer that the shadows are currently moving or changing position. This premise does entail the hypothesis "The shadows were shifting all around them."

Here's why the other options are not correct:

A. No: The premise does not say that the shadows were shifting all around them, only that they are shifting now.

B. It is not possible to tell: This option is incorrect because we can infer that the shadows are shifting based on the premise.

C. No: This option is also incorrect because we can infer that the shadows are shifting based on the premise.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. Yes.<|im_end|>
