The answer is true and it is correct. Think if the park has 10 trees and all of them are flowering trees according to the first statement.
If 6 of them are barkwood trees according to the second statement.
Then by the third statement, all the 6 barkwood trees are flowering trees. Then the statement is true.

The answer should be false.
For all trees in the park are flowering trees, and some are dogwood trees, then how come all trees in the park are flowering dogwood trees?

Yeah! The answer should be false as it is mentioned in the second statement that some trees in the park are dogwood.
And according to my knowledge, we are not supposed to apply our prior knowledge even if dogwood trees are flowering trees.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct me if I am wrong.

It should be uncertain because when we use a Venn diagram it shows that it's not compulsory for all dogwoods to be flowering trees.
