Answer 1

Answer:

A. Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Let’s analyze step by step using logic.

Given Statements:

1. All salads are appetizers

2. All salads are food

3. All food are rice

   Conclusion (I): All salads are rice

From (2) and (3):

• All salads ⟶ food

• All food ⟶ rice
  Therefore, All salads ⟶ rice
  Conclusion (I) follows

  Some foods are appetizers

• All salads are appetizers

• All salads are also food

So, salads are common to both food and appetizers
Hence, some foods (salads) are appetizers ✔️

Conclusion (II) follows

Final Answer:

Both (I) and (II) follow
