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.

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.

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.
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.

False.
Since first it must contain some in conclusion.
And ALL statement is not possible I in in in conclusion because in order to be all it should be distributed.
