Statements:
All birds are animals.
Some animals are insects.
Conclusions:
I. Some birds are insects.
II. Some insects are birds.
Which conclusions follow?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given Statements:
• All birds are animals.
• Some animals are insects.
Evaluation of Conclusions:
• Conclusion I: "Some birds are insects" – Not necessarily true, as the insect circle may intersect with the animal circle without touching the bird circle. Hence, it does not definitely follow.
• Conclusion II: "Some insects are birds" – For the same reason, there is no definite relation between insects and birds. Hence, it does not follow.
Therefore, neither conclusion follows (None follows).
Correct Answer: (D) None follows
