CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Two 'Some' statements give no definite link between mirrors and windows: the mirror-frames and the frame-windows may or may not share members.

  2. So I is not definite, and II is not definite either.

  3. I and II are about the same pair and are exact opposites (Some … are / No … is); in every possible picture exactly one of them is true.

  4. Either I or II follows.

Concept
Some + Some; the Some/No either-or pair
