I think option B is the right answer because of the first diagram.

Option C is the correct answer because in the complimentary pair when variables are the same but the basic diagram is true and the possibility diagram is false then either or follows.

It's simple, the given conclusions should satisfy all Venn diagram, if at least one of the Venn diagram voilates the conclusion then that set of conclusions are not the part of our answer!

Guys first thing is in syllogism we should not think the regular way.
We are considering both diagrams, imagine I drew the second diagram first. Then I agree the second statement is true.
Now I am thinking of another possibility where it cannot be true, then I drew the first diagram and figured out that it cannot be true always. In syllogism I will only say a statement is true if it is true ALWAYS. If I can deduce a way that it is not then I go with "NOT TRUE".
Let me know if that helps :).

Because there is no relation between truck and scooter in the statement.
