This rules out statement III, but it doesn't follow that all caps, a category that may include caps that are not baseball caps, have brims (statement I). Statement II cannot be confirmed, either, since it is possible, given the information, that all baseball caps are black. - 1.

Correct Answer: II and III only
Explanation:
The first statement cannot be true because only female birds lay eggs. Statement II is true because some hens are chickens and all chickens are birds. Statement III is also true because if only some chickens are hens, then some must not be hens.
Correct Answer: III only
Correct Answer: II only
Explanation:
Since one-half of the four children are girls, two must be boys. It is not clear which children have blue or brown eyes.
Correct Answer: II only
Explanation:
Statement II is the only true statement. Since all dogs like to run, then the ones who like to swim also like to run. There is no support for statement I or statement III.
Correct Answer: false
Explanation:
The first two statements indicate there are more yellow jelly beans than red and green.
Correct Answer: None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation:
There is no information in the facts to support statements I or II. Statement III is clearly wrong because, according to Fact 1, no frames cost less than $35.
Correct Answer: None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation:
None of the three statements is supported by the known facts.
Correct Answer: All the statements are facts.
Explanation:
If Mary always tells the truth, then both Ann and Mary have cats (statements I and II), and Ann is lying (statement III). So all the statements are facts.
Correct Answer: III only
Explanation:
Statements I and II are not supported by the facts. Statement III is true because if all story-books have pictures and only some have words, then some storybooks have both words and pictures.
Correct Answer: I and II only
Explanation:
Since some pens don't write, some writing utensils don't write (statement I). Since there are blue pens and since pens are writing utensils, some writing utensils are blue (statement II). There is not enough information to support statement III.
