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 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?
