Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Only I follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We combine a universal inclusion with a particular statement to test if a specific existential conclusion follows.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
From Soldier ⊆ Man, any soldier is a man. Since some citizens are soldiers, those very citizens are men; hence “Some citizens are men.” There is no basis to claim every soldier is a citizen.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Take the citizens who are soldiers (exist by premise).2) Map them through Soldier ⊆ Man to conclude they are men.3) Hence I follows. II claims Soldier ⊆ Citizen, which is not given.
Verification / Alternative check:
A model with 10 citizens who are soldiers among many other soldiers suffices; II fails.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(b) denies a necessary inference; (c) asserts an unsupported universal; (d) overstates.
Common Pitfalls:
Concluding a universal from a particular (“some” → “all”).
Final Answer:
Only I follows.
