Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Based on syllogistic logic, Premise 2 states 'Some goats are trees,' which logically implies the converse 'Some trees are goats.' Thus, Conclusion II necessarily follows. However, Premise 1 ('All poets are goats') and Premise 2 do not guarantee an intersection between the set of poets and trees, so Conclusion I ('Some poets are trees') does not necessarily follow.
