Question

Statements: Some cats are dogs. All dogs are animals. Conclusions: I. Some cats are animals. II. All animals are dogs. Which conclusion follows?

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Both I and II follow
• D. Neither I nor II follows

Hint:

A 'Some' overlap carried through an 'All' stays a 'Some'; do not reverse an 'All'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The cats that are dogs must fall inside the animals circle, so at least some cats are animals (I true). The animals circle is larger than the dogs circle, so it can hold non-dogs, making II uncertain. Only I follows.
