Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Only II and III

Explanation

Under the exam’s implicit assumption that heroes exist, heroes supply examples of lucky people and winners, proving II and III. Inclusion cannot be reversed to claim all lucky people are heroes. **B**. Without an existence assumption, the universal premises alone do not imply either existential conclusion.
