Why do we use Universal Generalization (U.G.) in proofs?
A)to allow us to reason about the characteristics of individuals from premises that include generalizations
B)to allow us to unlock simple statements from inside of compound statements about particular individuals so that they may be used in proofs
C)to take isolated instances and put them in the form of "all" statements so that conclusions may be drawn from them about more than one individual
D)to get from compound statements to simple ones so we can use the compo- nents of those statements
