|
C.
|
Either I or II follows
|
D.
|
Neither I nor II

|
E.

Both I and II follow
|
|
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and
affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative. However, conclusion
II, being an A-type proposition, distributes the term 'cats'.
Since the term 'cats' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of
the premises, so conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.
