Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
From the statements, some C are D and some D are E, but these may refer to different parts of D. Hence, no definite relation between C and E can be concluded, so conclusion I does not follow. Since no E is G and some D are E, only some D are definitely not G; it does not prove that no D is G, so conclusion II does not follow. There is also no definite relation between G and C, so conclusion III does not follow. Therefore, neither conclusion follows.
