Use the Law of Syllogism to determine a conclusion from statements (1) and (2):

(1) All square are rhombuses
this is false
(2) The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular
this is true

now what?
 
The question does not ask you to evaluate each statement's validity, does it?

What, word for word, is the Law of Syllogism? Applying that Law, what can you conclude from the two statements, regardless of their veracity?
