Discussion
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statement:
I. All poets are daydreamers.
II. All painters are day dreamers.
Conclusion:
I. All painters are poets.
II. Some daydreamers are not painters.
Answer: B
Both statements are universal: all poets and all painters lie inside the set of daydreamers. The two sets, poets and painters, are both subsets of daydreamers but nothing connects them to each other. Conclusion I, all painters are poets, does not follow, as the painters circle can lie outside the poets circle. Conclusion II, some daydreamers are not painters, is possible when there are poets who are not painters, but it is not certain, since the painters may be all the daydreamers. A conclusion that is only possible does not follow. So no conclusion emerges, which is the second option.
