Statements:
1. All men are mortal.
2. Socrates is a man.
Conclusions:
I. Socrates is mortal.

Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
Since Socrates falls within the category of 'man', and the entire category of 'man' falls within 'mortal', Socrates must be mortal (I follows). Not all mortals are men (e.g., animals), which makes II false.
