Assume the statements are true.

Statements: All violets are lilies. All lilies are tulips. Some tulips are daisies.

Which one of the following conclusions definitely follows?

Explanation

1. 01

   Violets are lilies and lilies are tulips, so all violets are tulips. Since violets exist, some tulips are violets: this follows.

2. 02

   The tulips that are daisies may or may not include violets or lilies, so 'Some violets are daisies' and 'No lily is a daisy' are only possible.

3. 03

   'All tulips are lilies' reverses an All statement, which is invalid.

4. 04

   So 'Some tulips are violets' is the one that definitely follows.
