"We must assume..."

1. Why does the professor say, "We must assume," that Lucy is telling the truth about Narnia?

  1. maybe because he might know because he maybe has been there.

  2. 1.Nobody knows too much about the house and Lucy always tells the truth so he says that because it's the best answer they could come up with that's reasonable.

  3. he said that because since Lucy always tells the truth then he said that maybe there really is a place called Narnia.Also maybe he's been there.

  10. 1.I think he said that because all the reasons everyone else said, also because he eliminated the other choices, and that was the one that was left.

  18. It is a classic problem in deductive reasoning. The professor presents three possible solutions based on the evidence the other children presented. You can only conclude a logical solution based on the premises at hand. As no other sound premises have been offered at the time, the only logically sound conclusion was the Lucy was telling the truth.

  19. I agree with all of you guys, or maybe that the professor, Peter and Susan don't want to make Lucy upset? I don't know just guessing
