Read the following statement carefully and identify the conclusion that follows. Statement: All books are papers. Some papers are journals. Conclusions: I. Some journals are books. II. Some papers are books.

'All books are papers' places the whole books circle inside the papers circle. 'Some papers are journals' makes the papers and journals circles overlap.
Conclusion I (Some journals are books): the journals circle may overlap the part of papers that has no books, so no definite link between journals and books exists. Conclusion I does not follow.
Conclusion II (Some papers are books): since all books are papers, the books inside papers are papers that are books, so some papers are definitely books. Conclusion II follows.
Hence, only Conclusion II follows.
