Direction: In this question, a statement/group of statements is given, followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the given statements.
Statement: Soldiers serve their country.
Conclusion:
Conclusion:
- Men generally serve their country
- Those who serve their country are soldiers
- Some men who are soldiers serve their country
- Women do not serve their country because they are not soldiers
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Some men who are soldiers serve their country
From 'Soldiers serve their country' it follows that those men who are soldiers serve their country. 'Men generally serve their country' over-generalises, 'those who serve their country are soldiers' illicitly converts the statement, and the claim about women has no basis.
