3.All radios are TVs

4.All TVs are tables

AOnly 1 and 3 follow

BOnly 2 and 4 follow

CAll follow

DNone follows ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) None follows

Explanation

None of the conclusions follows from these premises.

'Some tables are TVs' and 'some TVs are radios' are both particular.

The middle term TVs is undistributed in each, so it links nothing firmly.

Tables and radios are left with no guaranteed connection.

The two universal claims about radios and TVs reverse the premises and fail as well.
