Today we are answering the question: What is a dilemma? To find the answer, let’s look at the possible definitions. Dictionary.com defines a dilemma as a noun that means either…

  1. a situation requiring a choice between equally undesirable alternatives.
  2. any difficult or perplexing situation or problem.
  3. Logic. a form of syllogism in which the major premise is formed of two or more hypothetical propositions and the minor premise is a disjunctive proposition, as “If A, then B; if C then D. Either A or C. Therefore, either B or D.”
