Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: None follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Named individuals often tempt overreach. The premises supply one existential about the class “students” and a membership fact about Ankita, but they do not connect Ankita to the “intelligent” subset.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
From (I), at least one student is intelligent, but it need not be Ankita. Statement 1 about “dull” students introduces a new predicate with no support. Statement 2 claims Ankita is intelligent, which is not guaranteed by the premises.
Step-by-Step:
1) “Some students are dull” has no basis; dullness is never mentioned.2) “Ankita is intelligent” does not follow from “Some students are intelligent,” because “some” does not specify which student(s).
Common Pitfalls:
Reading “some” as “all,” or treating a named member as representative of the existential subset.
Final Answer:
None follows.
