Question
Some trees are plants.All bushes are plants.Conclusions:I. At least some trees are bushes.II. Some trees are definitely not bushes.if only conclusion I follows.if only conclusion II follows.if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.if both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.
Solution
The correct answer is "if only conclusion II follows."
Here's the step-by-step reasoning:
The first statement says "Some trees are plants." This means there are certain trees that are also classified as plants.
The second statement says "All bushes are plants." This means every bush is also classified as a plant.
Conclusion I states "At least some trees are bushes." From the given statements, we know that some trees and all bushes are plants. However, this does not necessarily mean that some trees are bushes. The fact that they are both plants does not imply that they are the same thing. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II states "Some trees are definitely not bushes." This is true because, while some trees and all bushes are plants, it does not mean that all trees are bushes. Therefore, there are definitely some trees that are not bushes. So, conclusion II follows.
Therefore, the correct answer is "if only conclusion II follows."
