If some cats are not pets and all pets are animals, which of the following is true?
Correct Answer: All cats are animals.
- Step 1: Understand that some cats are not pets. This means there are cats that do not belong to the group of pets.
- Step 2: Know that all pets are animals. This means every pet, including those that are cats, is an animal.
- Step 3: Since some cats are not pets, they can still be animals. Therefore, not all cats are pets, but all cats are still animals.
- Step 4: Conclude that it is true that all cats are animals, regardless of whether they are pets or not.
- Categorical Logic – Understanding the relationships between different categories (cats, pets, animals) and how they interact.
- Syllogism – Applying syllogistic reasoning to deduce conclusions from given premises.
