Some people are smart. Some smart people are hardworking. These statements imply that

  • A.All hardworking people are smart
  • B.Some people are smart and hardworking
  • C.All smart people are hardworking
  • D.Smart people are generally hardworking

Answer: B

The statements imply that some people are smart and hardworking.

The second statement says that some smart people are hardworking. Those people are, of course, people who are both smart and hardworking, so at least some people are smart and hardworking.

'All hardworking people are smart' and 'All smart people are hardworking' turn 'some' into 'all', which never follows. 'Smart people are generally hardworking' claims that most are, which also goes beyond 'some'.
