Question 3

Explanation

To draw a valid conclusion, we need to logically analyze the given premises.

Analysis of Premises

We have two main statements:

1. Premise 1: All West Javanese dishes have a sour and spicy taste.
2. Premise 2: Generally, West Javanese dishes use raw vegetables.

The word "Generally" in Premise 2 indicates that most West Javanese dishes use raw vegetables, but not all. This implies that there is a small portion of West Javanese dishes that do not use raw vegetables.

Logical Deduction

Let's connect the implication from Premise 2 with Premise 1:

• We know there are West Javanese dishes that do not use raw vegetables (from Premise 2).
• Since all West Javanese dishes have a sour and spicy taste (from Premise 1), those dishes that do not use raw vegetables must also have a sour and spicy taste.

Evaluation of Options

Let's examine each option:

• There are West Javanese dishes that are not sour and spicy: Incorrect. This contradicts Premise 1 which states "All" West Javanese dishes are sour and spicy.
• Some West Javanese dishes are neither sour nor spicy: Incorrect. Contradicts Premise 1.
• All West Javanese dishes use raw vegetables: Incorrect. Contradicts the word "Generally" in Premise 2.
• There are West Javanese dishes that do not use raw vegetables: Correct, but incomplete as it does not include information about the taste (Premise 1).
• There are West Javanese dishes that do not use raw vegetables but have a sour and spicy taste: Correct and complete. This combines the fact of the exception in using raw vegetables with the universal property of the dishes' taste.

The most appropriate conclusion is a combination of both premises: There are dishes (the subset of West Javanese dishes that don't use raw vegetables) that still possess the main property (sour and spicy taste).

Therefore, the correct answer is There are West Javanese dishes that do not use raw vegetables but have a sour and spicy taste.
