A Correct answer
Explanation

From the first two statements, we can deduce the cost order: raspberries > blueberries > strawberries. Therefore, raspberries do cost more than both strawberries and blueberries, making the third statement logically true. This is a transitive relationship: if A > B and C > A, then C > B.

AI explanation

Correct answer: true. Chaining the two given facts: blueberries > strawberries (in price) and blueberries < raspberries. Combining these transitively: raspberries > blueberries > strawberries, so raspberries must cost more than both strawberries and blueberries — exactly matching the third statement. This is a straightforward transitive-ordering deduction, so given the first two statements are true, the third is necessarily true (not merely possible or uncertain), and 'false'/'none' don't fit the valid logical chain.
