CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. The pigeons that are hawks are falcons, so 'Some pigeons are falcons' is definite. That makes 'No pigeon is a falcon' false: II does not follow.

  2. Nothing stops the rest of the pigeons from being falcons as well. Draw all pigeons inside the falcon circle: the statements hold, so I follows.

  3. Only I follows.
