Statements: All poets are readers. Some readers are teachers. Which conclusion necessarily follows?

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (Some poets are teachers.):
    The readers who are teachers need not be poets; that overlap is not guaranteed.
  • B (All teachers are poets.):
    The statements give no basis for putting every teacher within the set of poets.
  • C (No poets are teachers.):
    Poets and teachers may overlap; the statements do not rule it out.
  • D (Some teachers are readers.):
    “Some readers are teachers” identifies at least one member of both sets, so some teachers are readers.
KEY TAKEAWAY
Only accept an overlap explicitly guaranteed by the statements; do not infer extra connections.
