Understanding the Problem
In this question, we are provided with a set of possible relations between covers, squares, directions, and evenings. The goal is to identify which set of statements allows the conclusion that "All covers being evenings is a possibility" to logically follow.
Analysis of Option B
- Statements in Option B:
- All covers are squares.
- All squares are directions.
- All evenings are squares.
- Logical Implications:
- Since all covers are squares, this establishes a direct relationship between covers and squares.
- The statement that all squares are directions means that covers (being squares) must also be directions.
- Finally, since all evenings are squares, this indicates that evenings are part of the same category as covers and squares.
Conclusion from Option B
- This means:
- Covers (as squares) are included in the larger category of squares.
- Since evenings are also squares, it is entirely possible for covers to be part of evenings, thus making "All covers being evenings a possibility."
Why Other Options Don't Work
- Option A:
- This option contradicts the possibility of covers being evenings by stating "No direction is an evening."
- Option C:
- It states “No direction is a square,” which contradicts the earlier established relationships.
- Option D:
- This option also contradicts the possibility by stating “No cover is a square.”
- Option E:
- While it includes both the 2nd and 4th options, the 4th option negates the possibility of covers being evenings.
Final Verdict
Option B is the only set of statements that maintains a logical flow, allowing the conclusion to be drawn that all covers can potentially be evenings, fulfilling the requirement of the question.
