Question

Choose the set of three statements which are most logically related:
Statements:
A. All roses are fragrant.
B. All roses are majestic.
C. All roses are plants.
D. All roses need air.
E. All plants need air.
F. All plants need water.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

A perfect syllogism is when the first two statements together guarantee the truth of the third.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Take C (“All roses are plants”), E (“All plants need air”), and D (“All roses need air”):
- From C and E, we can deduce D logically (if all roses are plants and all plants need air, then all roses need air).
- This set forms a valid syllogism and is perfectly consistent.
Other sets do not produce such a neat deduction — they either lack a direct connection or involve unrelated properties like fragrance and majesty without a linking statement.
