Question 116

Choose the set in which the statements are most logically related.
A. Some of my closest friends disapprove of me.
B. Some of my closest friends are aardvarks.
C. All of my closest friends disapprove of me.
D. All who disapprove of me are aardvarks.
E. Some who disapprove of me are aardvarks.
F. Some of my closest friends are no aardvarks.

Solution

There are six sentences given. So, there can be many combinations of the sentences possible. Therefore, we will check each of the option to find the correct answer.

In option A, BCD is given. Statement C says all of my closest friends disapprove of me and D says all who disapprove of me are aardvarks. So, all my closest friends must be aardvarks. But, this contradicts with statement B. Thus, option A is incorrect.

In option B, statement D cannot be inferred from A and B.

In option C, all three statements are logically connected.

In option D, E cannot be inferred from A and B.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
