Explanation:
To determine which of the given statements, if any, can be considered as facts, we need to analyze each statement in relation to the three given facts.
Fact 1: All kids like to play.
This means that every child enjoys playing.
Fact 2: Some kids like ice cream.
This means that there are children who have a liking for ice cream, but it does not imply that all kids like ice cream.
Fact 3: Some kids look like their mothers.
This means that there are children who resemble their mothers, but it does not imply that all kids look like their mothers.
Now, let's analyze each statement:
Statement 1: All kids who like ice cream look like their mothers.
This statement cannot be considered a fact because it makes a generalization that all kids who like ice cream also look like their mothers, which is not supported by the given facts. Fact 2 states that only some kids like ice cream, and Fact 3 states that only some kids look like their mothers.
Statement 2: Kids who like ice cream also like to play.
This statement can be considered a fact. It is supported by Fact 1, which states that all kids like to play, and Fact 2, which states that some kids like ice cream. Since Fact 1 includes all kids, it logically follows that if some kids like ice cream (Fact 2), they must also like to play (Fact 1).
Statement 3: Kids who like to play do not look like their mothers.
This statement cannot be considered a fact because it contradicts Fact 3, which states that some kids look like their mothers. The statement implies that all kids who like to play do not look like their mothers, which is not supported by the given facts.
Therefore, the only statement that can be considered a fact is Statement 2: Kids who like ice cream also like to play (Option B).
