This is implied.<br \/>\nD) There may be dentists who are not Asians: Statement 1 says *some* dentists are Asians. This leaves open the possibility that there are other dentists who are not Asian. This possibility is consistent with the statements and is not ruled out. In the context of logic puzzles, if a possibility is consistent with the premises, the statement that this possibility *may* exist is often considered implied.
