Answer & Explanation

Correct Answer: Option A — Only I follows
To determine which conclusion is correct, we can visualize how these groups of books overlap.

Analyzing the Relationships
Relationship 1: "Some books are fiction." This means there is an intersection between the group of all Books and the group of Fiction.

Relationship 2: "All fictional books are popular." This means the entire category of Fiction sits inside the larger category of Popular things.

Evaluating the Conclusions
Conclusion I (Some books are popular): Since some books are in the "Fiction" category, and every single thing in the "Fiction" category is also "Popular," it must be true that those specific books are popular. This conclusion follows.

Conclusion II (All popular things are fiction): The statement tells us that all fiction is popular, but it doesn't say that only fiction is popular. There could be many other popular things (like movies or music) that have nothing to do with fiction. This conclusion does not follow.
