- 4. Some plants are not carnivorous.
A3 only
B2 and 4 only
C4 only ✓ Correct
D1, 2, 3, 4 only
Correct answer: (C) 4 only — Only statement 4 must be true, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Only statement 4 must be true, so that is the answer.
★The false claim is the universal affirmative 'All plants are carnivorous'.
★The contradictory of that universal is the particular negative.
★So 'Some plants are not carnivorous' is guaranteed true.
★The other statements are not forced by this falsity alone.
★Hence statement 4 only is correct.
