Statements: Some candies are chocolates. Some chocolates are sweets. Conclusions: I. Some candies are sweets. II. Some sweets are not candies.
Correct answer: A. None
- A. None
- B. Only I
- C. Both
- D. Only II
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: None. The statements provide that some candies are chocolates and some chocolates are sweets. However, there is no direct connection provided between candies and sweets, making both conclusions I and II uncertain. Conclusion I suggests a direct overlap that is not established, while Conclusion II assumes a universal negative that is not supported by the given information. Therefore, neither conclusion can be definitively drawn from the statements.
