Question

All Scripts are Code. Some Code is Optimized. No Optimized Code is Verbose. Which of the following conclusions necessarily follow?
I. Some Scripts are Verbose.
II. Some Code is not Verbose.
III. All Scripts are Optimized.
Select the most appropriate option:

• A. Only II follows
• B. Only I follows
• C. Both I and II follow
• D. Only III follows

Hint:

For categorical reasoning, carefully track relationships and exclusions; “some,” “all,” and “no” statements can help eliminate options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze statements — All Scripts ⊆ Code. Some Code is Optimized → No Optimized Code is Verbose.
Step 2: Evaluate conclusions —
I. Some Scripts are Verbose → Not necessarily true; we do not know which scripts are verbose.
II. Some Code is not Verbose → True, since some Code is Optimized and no Optimized Code is Verbose.
III. All Scripts are Optimized → Not necessarily true.
Step 3: Conclusion — Only II follows.
