Syllogism — Teachers, actors, and women (avoid reversing inclusions): Statements: 1. All teachers are actors. 2. Some actors are women. Conclusions: I. All teachers are women. II. Some women are teachers. III. Some women are actors. IV. All actors are teachers.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Only Conclusion III follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The premises place Teachers inside Actors and assert that some Actors are Women. We must not infer more than this overlap guarantees.


Assessment:

  • III “Some women are actors” follows immediately from statement 2.
  • I “All teachers are women” is not enforced; teachers could be male actors.
  • II “Some women are teachers” would require the women-actors to include at least one teacher; not guaranteed.
  • IV “All actors are teachers” reverses the inclusion and is false.


Final Answer:
Only Conclusion III follows.
