Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Given statements: Some trees are plants. All plants are flowers. All flowers are soft.

  • From "All plants are flowers" and "All flowers are soft" we deduce that all plants are soft.

  • Because "Some trees are plants", there exist plants. Since all plants are flowers, those plants are flowers; therefore there exist some flowers that are plants.

  • From the existence of trees that are plants and the fact that all plants are flowers, those trees are flowers. That means there exist some flowers that are trees.

  • Since all flowers are soft and some trees are flowers, those trees are soft. Therefore there exist some soft things that are trees.

  • Also, because there exist plants (from some trees are plants) and all plants are soft, there exist some soft things that are plants.

Conclusion: All four conclusions follow from the given statements.
