What does an ALL statement imply?

• A. Some members of Group A have quality B.
• B. All members of Group A also have quality B.
• C. No members of Group A have quality B.
• D. If Group A, then Group B.

Answer: (B)

An ALL statement means every member of the group has the specified quality; there are no exceptions within that group. So, for Group A, it asserts that every member also has quality B.

This is why the statement is interpreted as all members of Group A have quality B. Saying some members have B would only require at least one member with B, not all. Saying no members have B would mean the opposite of the universal claim. The conditional phrasing “If Group A, then Group B” resembles a rule about a relationship and doesn’t directly state that every member of A has B in the simple universal form.
