The correct answer is: Only I and either II or III follow.
The first statement, “Some blankets are beds,” can be expressed in propositional logic as $B \subseteq P$. The second statement, “Some pillows are blankets,” can be expressed as $P \subseteq B$. The third statement, “All beds are pillows,” can be expressed as $P \subseteq B$.
The first conclusion, “Some blankets are pillows,” is a direct consequence of the first two statements. The second conclusion, “Some pillows are beds,” is a direct consequence of the second and third statements. The third conclusion, “Some beds are blankets,” is a direct consequence of the third statement.
Therefore, only I and either II or III follow.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- Option A: Only either I or II follows. This option is incorrect because both I and II follow.
- Option B: Only I and either II or III follow. This option is correct.
- Option C: Only III and either I or II follow. This option is incorrect because I does not follow.
- Option D: All I, II and III follow. This option is incorrect because II does not follow.
- Option E: None of these. This option is incorrect because I and II follow.
