Read the following statement carefully and identify the conclusion that follows. Statement: All men are intelligent. No intelligent person is poor. Some poor are hardworking. Conclusions: I. Some men are hardworking. II. No man is poor.
Only II follows
Chain the premises. "All men are intelligent" places all men inside the intelligent group; "No intelligent person is poor" then keeps every intelligent person—and therefore every man—outside the poor group.
Conclusion II ("No man is poor"): since all men are intelligent and no intelligent person is poor, men are completely excluded from being poor. This conclusion definitely follows.
Conclusion I ("Some men are hardworking"): the only link to hardworking is through "Some poor are hardworking". But men are entirely separate from the poor, so the hardworking poor cannot be shown to be men. There is no valid path connecting men to hardworking, so this does not follow.
Hence, only Conclusion II follows.
