Statement:
In a recent survey, 80% of employees preferred remote work over office work to maintain a work-life balance.
Conclusions:
I. Office work completely destroys work-life balance.
II. Work-life balance is a priority for a majority of employees.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?

Statements:
1. All actors are handsome.
2. John is handsome.
Conclusions:
I. John is an actor.
II. John is not an actor.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
John is in the 'handsome' category, but we do not know if he is inside the 'actor' sub-category or outside it. Therefore, neither is definite. However, since he must either be an actor or not an actor, the 'either/or' condition applies.
