I. Some notebooks are pencils.
II. Some cardboards are books.
III. Some notebooks are books.
All conclusions I, II and III follow.
This question tests your understanding of categorical syllogisms and deductive reasoning. Let's analyze each statement and conclusion:
Statements:
- All books are pencils.
- All pencils are cardboards.
- All cardboards are notebooks.
Conclusions:
- I. Some notebooks are pencils. This is TRUE. Since all pencils are cardboards, and all cardboards are notebooks, it follows that some notebooks (at least those that are pencils) are pencils.
- II. Some cardboards are books. This is TRUE. Since all books are pencils, and all pencils are cardboards, it follows that some cardboards (at least those that are books) are books.
- III. Some notebooks are books. This is TRUE. Since all books are pencils, all pencils are cardboards, and all cardboards are notebooks, it follows that some notebooks (at least those that are books) are books.
Therefore, all conclusions I, II, and III logically follow from the given statements.
