    Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some tastes are foods. Some foods are fruits. No fruit is a vegetable. Conclusions: I. Some tastes are vegetable. II. No taste is a vegetable.
    A Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
