Question 1
Statements:
All ideas are methods.
All methods are theories.
Conclusions:
I. All ideas are theories.
II. Some theories are ideas.
Venn Diagram Method:
Draw three circles for ideas, methods, and theories.
Step 1: "All ideas are methods" → Circle of ideas completely inside methods
Step 2: "All methods are theories" → Circle of methods completely inside theories
Step 3: Result: ideas ⊂ methods ⊂ theories
Analytical Method (A + A = A):
All ideas are methods (A) + All methods are theories (A) = All ideas are theories (A)
Verification:
✓ Conclusion I: "All ideas are theories" - FOLLOWS (direct rule application)
✓ Conclusion II: "Some theories are ideas" - FOLLOWS (if all A are C, then some C are A)
Answer: Both conclusions I and II follow
