Which of the following is a SOME statement example?

Understanding existential statements: some means there exists at least one member in the group that has the given property. The example “Some members of Group A have quality B” is exactly that kind of claim — there is at least one member of Group A whose qualities include B. The other forms express different ideas: “All members …” requires every member to have B, which is a universal claim; “No members …” says zero members have B, the negation of existence; and “If Group A, then Group B” is a conditional about a relationship between groups, not a direct claim about the existence of someone with property B. In simple terms, some = at least one, while the others describe all, none, or a conditional relationship.
