Answer 2

The law of detachment says that you have an if/then statement, and you know that the "if" part is true. Because of that, the "then" part also has to be true. For example, you might have a statement like "If you get an A on all your tests, then you'll get an A in the course". You do get A's on all your tests. The law of detachment says you're guaranteed to get an A in the course.

Syllogism is also called the transitive law. It says if one thing implies a second and the second implies a third, then the first must imply the third. For example, "if you go out drinking, then your parents will get mad" and "if your parents get mad, then you'll be grounded". The conclusion you could deduce would be "if you go out drinking, then you'll be grounded" (the "if" part from the first statement and the "then" part from the second).
