Statements: 1. Some teachers are writers. 2. Some writers are poets. Conclusions: I. Some teachers are poets. II. All poets are teachers.

1. Only I follows
2. Only II follows
3. Both I and II follow
4. Neither I nor II follows

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

Solution

The statements show that some teachers overlap with writers and some writers overlap with poets, but they do not say that the same writers are both teachers and poets. So conclusion I does not follow. Conclusion II is also unsupported because nothing says all poets are teachers.
