All roses are flowers. Some flowers are red. Which conclusion follows?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. "All roses are flowers" means roses ⊆ flowers.
2. "Some flowers are red" puts some — possibly other — flowers into the red set.
3. Whether the red flowers overlap with roses cannot be inferred.
4. So "no definite conclusion" is correct.
