Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Two existential premises can be satisfied by disjoint subsets. Without a premise linking “good” and “wise,” overlap is not compelled.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Both conclusions require the intersection Good ∩ Wise among Men to be non-empty. The premises allow that intersection to be empty because they never assert any relationship between Good and Wise.
Verification / Alternative check:
A model with some good-but-not-wise men and some wise-but-not-good men satisfies the premises while falsifying both conclusions.
Final Answer:
Neither I nor II follows.
