Both is true because without said death comes.

I conclusion is, no doubt, a fact but in no way mentioned in the statement. Only II follows.

Conclusion I does not follow the statement.

Death is inevitable. Even if the day is uncertain yet, it is certain that death will come.

I is individually correct but never in the context of the given statement whereas II is consistent. I is no way related. Only II follows.

2 doesn't follow because time is not related to the calendar, but whereas [man should die one day] where the day is relevant to the word calendar, so 1 is follows I guess.

Correct me, If I am wrong.
