Given the statement "Soldiers serve their country," let's evaluate the conclusions:
Conclusion I: Men generally serve their country. This conclusion does not logically follow from the given statement. The statement specifically refers to soldiers serving their country, but it does not generalize all men serving their country. Therefore, this conclusion does not logically follow.
Conclusion II: Those who serve their country are soldiers. This conclusion does not logically follow from the given statement. The statement does not imply that only soldiers serve their country. There are many ways to serve one's country beyond military service. Therefore, this conclusion does not logically follow.
Conclusion III: Some men who are soldiers serve their country. This conclusion is a logical extension of the given statement. Since the statement "Soldiers serve their country" is true, it follows that some men who are soldiers serve their country. Therefore, this conclusion logically follows from the information provided.
Conclusion IV: Women do not serve their country because they are not soldiers. This conclusion is not supported by the given statement and is a broad generalization that does not logically follow. The statement does not provide any information about the service of women or their association with the military. Therefore, this conclusion does not logically follow.
In conclusion, Conclusion III logically follows from the given statement, while Conclusions I, II, and IV do not.

Here the word "serve" implies "To work for".
Option-A is wrong because not all men work for their country; they may work in other countries.
Option-B is wrong because not all the people who work for the country are soldiers; they may be government employees too, etc.
Option-D is irrelevant to the given statement, and it is more like a vague statement.
So, Option-C is Correct.
Option-A is wrong because not all men work for their country; they may work in other countries.
Option-B is wrong because not all the people who work for the country are soldiers; they may be government employees too, etc.
Option-D is irrelevant to the given statement, and it is more like a vague statement.
So, Option-C is Correct.

Why not B ? Soldiers serve their country so in a way it is saying that those who serve their country are soldiers. Kindly someone tell whether it is correct or not and here the statement does not bother about whether other people are serving their country or not so why should we take that into consideration. Please explain!

Its C, I think.
B is not correct because serving country refers to scientists/students/researches in field of technology or humanity actions inside country like adopting/saving children like Mother Teresa.
C is correct because soldiers refers to man/woman in perfect meaning.

Not only soldiers but other people too serve their country in some or the other way. But the statement here is referring to soldiers thats why some of the men who are soldiers serve their country is the correct option.

I think the answer should be C because it is not every body that serve the country is soldier. Based on the statement here that soldiers serve their country means that some men who are soldiers serve their country.

B should be the answer.
Because the statement is generic (Soldier).
The soldier could be man or woman.
But in option C, only man are termed as a soldier, which is specific.
So B should be the answer.
