Response Details:
If the third statement is true, this means that a mouse will jump out leading us back to statement 2 which says that Chad will scream if a mouse jumps out.
 
Thus we know (assuming that the statements are true) that Chad will scream if the dresser drawer is opened. 
Hope this helps!  Please take the time to rate my answer accordingly.  Thanks!
