- 1, 3, 5
- 1, 4, 3
- 5, 6, 4
- 2, 6, 3
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - 5, 6, 4
Parrots are birds (5) and birds eat chillies (6), so parrots eat chillies (4): the combination 5, 6, 4. In the other combinations the third statement does not follow from the first two; for example, all parrots being green and green birds eating green chillies does not make parrots birds.
