    Explanation:

    A categorical argument or syllogism consists of deductive statement based on two premises. For example the highlighted statements:

    No boy is a girl

    Some humans are boys

    Therefore, some humans are girls

    is a categorical argument which consists of two premises (No boy is a girl, some humans are boys) and a deduction (Therefore, some humans are girls). The deduction is made by using the premises as the basis.

    In the question, the two premises are:

    Using a lemon when cooking is like using a lime

    Limes add to bland foods to give them some zest

    The deduction is:

    Therefore, lemons too will give zest to bland foods

    Thus, representing a categorical argument.
