QUESTION #4426
Question 1
All daffodils are plants. All plants are living things. Some living things are real. Which conclusions follow? I. All daffodils are living things. II. Some living things are flowers. III. All daffodils are real.
Correct Answer Explanation
From the premises: All daffodils $\subseteq$ plants, and all plants $\subseteq$ living things, so all daffodils $\subseteq$ living things — Conclusion I is valid. Conclusion II introduces 'flowers' which is not mentioned in any premise — invalid. Conclusion III cannot be confirmed because only 'some' living things are real, and daffodils may or may not be among them — invalid. Only Conclusion I follows.
