Only DevOps engineers are reliable means reliable ⊆ DevOps engineers. Only reliable are employees means employees ⊆ reliable. So employees ⊆ reliable ⊆ DevOps engineers, meaning only DevOps engineers are employees. Cannot conclude all DevOps engineers are employees.
statement, conclusion

Question 5

Statement: Only civil servants are stubborn. Only stubborn are residents. Conclusions: 1. Only civil servants are residents. 2. All civil servants are residents. Select the correct answer:
'Only A are B' means B ⊆ A. So stubborn ⊆ civil servants and residents ⊆ stubborn, thus residents ⊆ civil servants, meaning only civil servants are residents. This also implies all civil servants are residents? No - careful: Only A are B means B ⊆ A, not A ⊆ B. So only conclusion 1 follows, not conclusion 2.
statement, conclusion
