Question

Suleiman: All Communists are atheists.

Sheeba: That is not true.

Which of the following, if true, would make Sheeba’s reply the most convincing?

Options

• My uncle is an atheist but he is not a Communist.

• My uncle is a Communist but he is not an atheist.

• My uncle is a Communist and an atheist.

• My uncle is neither a Communist nor an atheist.

Answer 1

My uncle is a Communist but he is not an atheist.

Explanation:

According to Suleiman, communists set must be a subset of atheist set. But if Sheeba contradicts this then at least a part of communists set must be outside the atheist set. Therefore, 'My uncle is a Communist but he is not an atheist.' is correct.
