Statements: Some swords are sharp. All swords are rusty
Conclusions:
- Some rusty things are sharp.
- Some rusty things are not sharp.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. Since both the premises are affirmative, the conclusion cannot be negative. Thus, II does not follow.
