Here is an explanation of how to determine which conclusions follow from the given statements:
Statement 1: All trees are shrubs.
Statement 2: No shrub is a sapling.
Statement 3: All saplings are grass.
Conclusion 1: No tree is a grass.
This conclusion follows from statements 1 and 3. If all trees are shrubs (statement 1) and all saplings are grass (statement 3), then no tree can be a grass (because a tree cannot be both a shrub and a grass at the same time).
Conclusion 2: Some sapling being tree is a possibility.
This conclusion does not follow from the given statements. Statement 1 does not mention anything about saplings, and statement 2 says that no shrub is a sapling, so there is no information in the statements about whether or not some saplings could also be trees.
Therefore, the correct answer is E) if either 1 or 2 fallows.

Given statements:
1. All trees are shrubs.
2. No shrub is a sapling.
3. All saplings are grass.
Conclusion:
1. No tree is grass.
2. Some saplings being trees is a possibility.
Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to analyze the given statements and draw conclusions based on them. Let's look at each statement one by one.
Statement 1: All trees are shrubs.
This means that every tree is also a shrub. So, if something is a tree, it must also be a shrub.
Statement 2: No shrub is a sapling.
This statement tells us that there is no overlap between shrubs and saplings. So, if something is a shrub, it cannot be a sapling.
Statement 3: All saplings are grass.
This statement implies that every sapling is also a grass. So, if something is a sapling, it must also be a grass.
Using these three statements, let's evaluate the given conclusions.
Conclusion 1: No tree is grass.
This conclusion is true because statement 1 tells us that every tree is also a shrub. Statement 2 tells us that no shrub is a sapling. Statement 3 tells us that all saplings are grass. Therefore, no tree can be a sapling, and hence no tree can be grass.
Conclusion 2: Some saplings being trees is a possibility.
This conclusion is also true because statement 2 tells us that no shrub is a sapling, but it doesn't say anything about whether a sapling can be a tree. Statement 1 tells us that all trees are shrubs. Therefore, some saplings can be trees, and this conclusion is possible.
Answer: Option C. If both 1 and 2 conclusions follow.
