For question 2 in examples, I feel option (1) follows.
Some asses are not dogs is true right? since some asses are bulls (which implies they're not dogs). Please reply why not?

Venn diagram (Correctly Euler circles) shows all possibilities which do not violates any given premises. All actors are dancers do not violate any given premise. So it is shown in the diagrams.

Hello All,
This is only for those who are very poor to understand syllogism. I assure you can understand very well through my given examples.
Here already discussed that.
*. ALL+ALL = ALL.
Means Suppose All Pens are chair & ALL chairs are tables.
It means that both the statements have all in First.
So, this can be written as All pens are tables.
Hope you understand well.

First know All=A, NO=E, SOME=I, O=SOME NOT, O* = O revers.
Let A+A=A.
A+E=E.
E+A=O*.
E+I=O*.
I+A=I.
I+E=O.
A+I=NC(no conclusion).
A+O=NC.
I+I=NC.
FOLLOW THIS METHOD A LITTLE BIT EASY TO SOLVE.
