Fact 1: All drink mixes are beverages : Here the mixes means for an eg we will take the mixes of fruit juice which is drinkable and called as beverages and could turn out to be any color.
Fact 2: All beverages are drinkable : So the mixes of juice are drinkable.
Fact 3: Some beverages are red : As we said it could turn out to be different color but some turn out to be red.
I: Some drink mixes are red : Yes agreed but it is uncertain.
II: All beverages are drink mixes : Not necessary.
III: All red drink mixes are drinkable : Yes it is drinkable thoe some may like some may not but it is drinkable.
Hope this may answer.

Option B also can because most of beverages are mixed with something which induces appetite.

All drink mixes are beverages. Then, all beverages must also be drink mixes. Why statement 2 is not correct?
