Correct Answer: All married students of the club are invited for the dance
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:This is a set-inclusion (syllogism) question. We are told who can be club members and who is invited for the dance. We must connect the sets correctly without over-generalising.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Chain subset relations: Members ⊆ Students; Married ⊆ Invited. Intersecting information (“some members are married”) yields “some married students exist” and those, being married, are invited.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Married members are by definition students (from I) and married (from II).2) All married people are invited (III). Therefore, all married students of the club are invited.Verification / Alternative check:Venn diagram: Draw Students; Members as a subset of Students; Married as an overlapping set. The overlap of Members and Married lies inside Students and is entirely inside Invited.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• (a) “All students invited” is too broad; we know nothing about unmarried students.• (c) “All members married” contradicts only “some members are married.”• (d)/(e) do not follow from the premises.Common Pitfalls:Assuming converses or universalising “some” to “all.”
Final Answer:All married students of the club are invited for the dance.
