For possibilities are there. Statement should satify all the four. As per third diagram First statement follows but not for all the diagrams. As per third diagram second statement follows but not for all thats why the answer choice is D.

Here middle term is ' cats '. As the middle term is not even distributed in one of the premises. Here is no conclusion.

Sillogism plobm is very confusion because manly two or more answer are correct so that situation we can draw many diagram and see them whose diffenrent then that is the right answer.
Resoning is very confusioning so problem is very common.
Only practise is that solution. So keep it up.

'Either or' is used in sentences in a positive sense meaning "one or the other, this or that, he or she, etc."
'Neither nor' is used in sentences in a negative sense meaning "not this one nor the other, not this nor that, not he nor she, etc."
Apply this I hope you will get some clarity.

@Amit, if there is 'No' appear in conclusion you have to draw all the possibilities. And if not there is no need to draw more than 1 diagram. 1 diagram is sufficient To come to the answer.
