Question 1
Statements:
Some sustainable are accessible.
All accessible are rare.
Conclusions:
I. All sustainable are rare.
II. Some sustainable are not rare.
Complementary Pair Analysis:
Conclusions I and II form a complementary pair:
- "All sustainable are rare" (A-type)
- "Some sustainable are not rare" (O-type)
These are opposite statements where at least one can be true.
Venn Diagram:
Step 1: "Some sustainable are accessible" → Partial overlap
Step 2: "All accessible are rare" → accessible inside rare
Step 3: The part of sustainable overlapping with accessible is definitely inside rare
Step 4: But we DON'T know about the rest of sustainable
Possible Cases:
Case 1: All of sustainable inside rare → Conclusion I true
Case 2: Some of sustainable outside rare → Conclusion II true
Either-Or Rule:
When conclusions form complementary pair "All" and "Some not", answer is "Either-Or".
Answer: Either conclusion I or II follows
