Correct Answer: None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation:
None of the three statements is supported by the known facts.
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:
All baseball caps have brims, since baseball caps are hats (Fact 3) and all hats have brims (Fact 1). 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.
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: 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.
Correct Answer: I only
Explanation:
Since Maui is an island and islands are surrounded by water,Maui must be surrounded by water. There is not enough information to support statements II and III.
Correct Answer: None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation:
There is not enough information to support any of the statements. Robert is known to have a minvan, but it is not known which of his vehicles is red. Robert may have a pickup or sport utility vehicle, so the second statement cannot be supported. There is no way to know if Robert's favorite color is red (statement III).
Correct Answer: Jenkins
Explanation:
After all the switching was done, Jenkins was directly behind the receiver. Calvin and Burton had fallen. Zeller remained in the rear.
