Question

Statement: All flowers are leaves. Some leaves are green. Conclusion I: Some flowers are green. Conclusion II: All leaves are flowers. Which of the conclusions logically follow(s)?

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only II follows
• C. Neither I nor II follows
• D. Both I and II follow

Hint:

In logical reasoning, always examine the relationships between the statements and conclusions. One statement doesn’t imply the other unless explicitly mentioned.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

We are given the statement: "All flowers are leaves" and "Some leaves are green". From the first statement, we know that all flowers are leaves, but this does not mean that all leaves are flowers. Hence, Conclusion II ("All leaves are flowers") is incorrect. For Conclusion I: "Some flowers are green", since "Some leaves are green" and all flowers are leaves, it is logical that some flowers could be green as well. Therefore, Conclusion I follows. Answer: \(\boxed{A}\)
