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?

I agree with @Victoria as it can be possible that some dogwood are flowering trees and not all.

Answer is based on first sentence because it says that all the trees are flowering trees.

Can anyone explain through Venn diagrams please?

Dogwood is not distributed in the premises. How come it is distributed in the conclusion?

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.
