Even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statement: 1. Some cats are dogs. 2. Some trees are dogs. Conclusions: (I) Some dogs are cats. (II) Some cats are trees.

  1. A.Only conclusion I follows.✓ Correct
  2. B.Both conclusions I and II follow.
  3. C.Only conclusion II follows.
  4. D.Either conclusion I or II follow.

From 'Some cats are dogs,' it logically follows by conversion that 'Some dogs are cats' (Conclusion I is valid). However, there is no direct link between cats and trees in the premises, so Conclusion II does not follow.
