2.Some apples are grapes

AOnly conclusion I follows

BOnly conclusion II follows

CBoth conclusions I and II follow

DNeither conclusion I nor II follows ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Explanation

Neither conclusion follows from the given premises.

'All grapes are oranges' places grapes inside oranges.

'Some apples are not oranges' pushes part of the apples outside oranges.

No apple is thereby shown to be a grape, so 'some apples are grapes' fails.

Still less can 'all apples are grapes' be established.
