Hint:

For syllogism questions, carefully convert statements into Venn diagrams or logical relations. Identify what \emphmust be true versus what \emphmay be true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyzing statements — All teachers are creative → All teachers are sensitive (because all creative people are sensitive).
No insensitive person is a teacher → all teachers are sensitive.
Step 2: Evaluating conclusions —
I. Some sensitive people are teachers → True, as all teachers are sensitive.
II. All sensitive people are teachers → Not necessarily true; sensitivity is broader than just teachers.
III. No teacher is insensitive → True, directly follows.
Step 3: Conclusion — Only I and III follow, so option (c) is correct.
