(II) All leaves are trees.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Conclusions:
(I) Some leaves are plants. - Does not follow (It is possible but not definite)
(II) All leaves are trees. - Does not follow(because restatement is always false in a syllogism because it doesn't qualify the definition of the conclusion itself in logic.)
