Problem 2 - Olympiad

No cats are reptiles. Some animals are reptiles. What can be concluded?

Correct: A

The premises include a universal negative and a particular affirmative. The conclusion that 'some animals are not cats' follows via syllogistic logic: since no cat is a reptile and some animals are reptiles, those reptiles cannot be cats. The other choices are invalid inferences or do not logically follow.
