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.

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.
