Syllogisms question 23
Statements:
No actor is a singer.
All singers are dancers.
Conclusions:
I. Some dancers are not actors.
II. No actor is a dancer.
Assuming the statements to be true, which conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Both I and II follow
- Neither I nor II follows
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. Only conclusion I follows
Explanation: Every singer is a dancer and no singer is an actor, so those dancers are not actors (I follows). Actors could still be dancers who are not singers, so II does not follow.
