Question

Choose the set of three statements which are most logically related:
Statements:
A. Some of my closest friends disapprove of me.
B. Some of my closest friends are aardvarks.
C. All of my closest friends disapprove of me.
D. All who disapprove of me are aardvarks.
E. Some who disapprove of me are aardvarks.
F. Some of my closest friends are no aardvarks.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

For logical set questions, visualize using Venn diagrams to ensure all three statements can be true at the same time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We are tasked with finding a trio of statements that can logically connect and be consistent with each other.
If we take A (“Some of my closest friends disapprove of me”), B (“Some of my closest friends are aardvarks”), and E (“Some who disapprove of me are aardvarks”), we can create a logical connection:
- From A, there exists an overlap between “closest friends” and “those who disapprove of me.”
- From B, there exists an overlap between “closest friends” and “aardvarks.”
- From E, there exists an overlap between “disapprove of me” and “aardvarks.”
These statements together describe intersecting groups without creating contradictions, and they are mutually consistent in a possible scenario.
Other combinations either create contradictions or do not connect meaningfully.
