We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

391 \(\Rightarrow\) 74 given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number	Statement
391:	\(C(\infty,LO)\): Every set of non-empty linearly orderable sets has a choice function.
112:	\(MC(\infty,LO)\): For every family \(X\) of non-empty sets each of which can be linearly ordered there is a function \(f\) such that for all \(y\in X\), \(f(y)\) is a non-empty finite subset of \(y\).
90:	\(LW\): Every linearly ordered set can be well ordered. Jech [1973b], p 133.
51:	Cofinality Principle: Every linear ordering has a cofinal sub well ordering. Sierpi\'nski [1918], p 117.
337:	\(C(WO\), uniformly linearly ordered): If \(X\) is a well ordered collection of non-empty sets and there is a function \(f\) defined on \(X\) such that for every \(x\in X\), \(f(x)\) is a linear ordering of \(x\), then there is a choice function for \(X\).
92:	\(C(WO,{\Bbb R})\): Every well ordered family of non-empty subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) has a choice function.
94:	\(C(\aleph_{0},\infty,{\Bbb R})\): Every denumerable family of non-empty sets of reals has a choice function. Jech [1973b], p 148 prob 10.1.
74:	For every \(A\subseteq\Bbb R\) the following are equivalent: \(A\) is closed and bounded. Every sequence \(\{x_{n}\}\subseteq A\) has a convergent subsequence with limit in A. Jech [1973b], p 21.
