Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
From statement I, all L are inside J. This does not mean all J are inside L, so conclusion I does not follow. Statement II says no V is L, meaning V and L do not overlap. Therefore, “All V are L” and “All L are V” cannot follow. Hence none of the conclusions follows.
