Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze statements —
All Poets ⊆ Poem writers
Some Poets ⊆ Critics → These Poets do not ignore structure (since no Critic ignores Structure)
Step 2: Evaluate conclusions —
(a) True, because the Poets who are Critics do not ignore structure.
Others are not necessarily true.
Step 3: Conclusion — Option (a) is correct.
