Solution

The given statements are:

  1. No mare is a puppy.
  2. All puppies are horses.

From these statements, we can derive the following:

  • Since no mare is a puppy and all puppies are horses, it means that no mare can be a horse that is a puppy.
  • However, this does not mean that all mares are horses because there could be horses that are not puppies.
  • Also, since all puppies are horses and no mare is a puppy, it means that there are some horses that are not mares (the horses that are puppies).

So, based on these derivations:

Conclusion I: All mares are horses. This conclusion does not follow the given statements.

Conclusion II: Some horses are not mares. This conclusion follows the given statements.

Therefore, the answer is "If only conclusion II follows".
