Statement — The Government of state X ordered a fresh inquiry into the mysterious death of a leopard at a state zoo. Conclusions: I. The leopard is a pet domestic animal. II. The leopard is a wild animal.

Introduction / Context:The setting is a zoo—an institution for wild fauna. We test which conclusion is directly supported.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Animal: leopard; location: zoo; event: mysterious death; action: inquiry ordered.

Concept / Approach:By nature and context, a leopard is a wild animal. The statement gives no basis to treat it as a domestic pet.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Wild species kept at zoos for conservation/exhibit.2) Therefore II follows, I does not.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only I/Either/Both: contradict species classification. Neither: ignores the obvious.

Common Pitfalls:Overcomplicating species categorization when context is explicit.

Final Answer:Only conclusion II follows.
