Question

Statements: No statement is a conclusion.
Some conclusions are assumptions:
All assumptions are arguments.
Conclusions: I. No argument is a conclusion.
II. No statement is an assumption.

• A. if only conclusion I follows.
• B. if only conclusion II follows.
• C. if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
• D. if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
• E. if both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

There are two cases possible.

No argument is conclusion.

This is a possibility, but not always correct.

No statement is assumption.

This is a possibility, but not always correct.

Thus neither of conclusion I and II is correct.

Hence, Option D is correct.
