Statement:
The meteorology department has predicted heavy rainfall and thunderstorms for the next 48 hours.
Conclusions:
I. Citizens should carry umbrellas when going out.
II. Flights might get delayed or cancelled.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
Both conclusions are logical inferences based on the prediction of severe weather. Carrying an umbrella is a logical precaution, and severe thunderstorms logically impact aviation schedules.
Statements:
1. All trees are forests.
2. No forest is a desert.
Conclusions:
I. No tree is a desert.
II. Some forests are trees.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
If all trees are within the forest category, and the forest category has no overlap with the desert category, then no tree can be a desert (Conclusion I). Since all trees are forests, it is true that some forests (the ones made up of those trees) are trees (Conclusion II).
