The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct set is (C) — statements 2, 4, and 5. Reasoning: - (2) “All teachers need training” — universal affirmative: every teacher falls into the category of those who need training. - (4) “X is a teacher” — identifies X as a member of the group “teachers.” - (5) “X needs training” — follows logically from (2) and (4) by the basic rule of syllogism: \[ \text{All teachers} \rightarrow \text{need training} \] \[ \text{X is a teacher} \rightarrow \text{X needs training} \] This set forms a complete, logically consistent chain. Why others are incorrect: - (A) includes statement 1, which is unrelated to the “training” context of 2 and 5. - (B) mixes 2 and 3 but does not lead to 4 as a logical conclusion in the same sense. - (D) includes statement 6, which is unrelated to the “teacher-training” theme.
