Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Analyze statements —
All Samosas ⊆ Delicious
Some Delicious ⊆ Spicy
No Spicy ⊆ Steamed
Step 2: Evaluate conclusions —
I. Some Samosas are Spicy → Not necessarily true; no direct connection is given.
II. Some Delicious are not Steamed → True, as some Delicious are Spicy, and no Spicy is Steamed.
III. No Samosa is Steamed → Not necessarily true; no direct statement connects Samosas to Steamed.
Step 3: Conclusion — Only II follows.
