The correct answer is false. Because some of the trees in park are dogwood not all. So when we do it using venn diagram it will be wrong. So the correct answer is FALSE.

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?
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?

Suppose some of the dogwoods are shrubs. Then the third statement would be false. But since we don't have this information, the correct answer is "uncertain".

Since most of the trees in the park are dogwood (flowering), there might be other trees which are flowering too, for me, the answer is "uncertain".

2nd sentence is not used in generating a conclusion.
As per rules of syllogism, if one statement is particular, answer has to be particular only.

What about those dogwoods that are in the park but are not trees so can't be flowering trees? Why are you ignoring them? Why do they get no love?

But it is not mentioned anywhere that "all dogwoods are trees". So, those dogwood which are not tree can may not be flowering trees.

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.
