Statements:(I) All fans are cups.(II) All cups are pillows.Conclusions:(I) All fans are pillows.(II) All pillows are fans.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's evaluate using Venn diagrams or logical deduction:From statement (I), the set of 'fans' is completely inside the set of 'cups'.From statement (II), the set of 'cups' is completely inside the set of 'pillows'.Therefore, the set of 'fans' is automatically inside the set of 'pillows'.Conclusion I: "All fans are pillows" must be true. (Follows)Conclusion II: "All pillows are fans" is not necessarily true, as there can be parts of 'pillows' outside 'fans'. (Does not follow)Thus, only conclusion I follows.

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.
