Statements: Some cows are crows. Some crows are elephants.

Conclusions:

1. Some cows are elephants.

2. All crows are elephants.

  • A.Only (1) conclusion follows
  • B.Only (2) conclusion follows
  • C.Either (1) or (2) follows
  • D.Neither (1) nor (2) follows

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither (1) nor (2) follows

Both statements are particular - some cows are crows, some crows are elephants - and the crows in the two need not be the same, so nothing links cows to elephants. Conclusion 2 goes further still, making a universal out of a particular. Neither follows.
