If some officers carry guns and most officers carry clubs, what can we conclude about officers carrying both?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Cannot say

The correct answer is: Cannot say

To arrive at the conclusion that "Cannot say" is the appropriate response regarding whether some officers carry both guns and clubs, we need to analyze the information presented in the question. The statement indicates that there are officers who carry guns and that most officers carry clubs. However, it does not provide any direct information about whether the same or different officers are among those who carry guns and clubs. Since we know that some officers carry guns and most carry clubs, the overlapping group of officers who may carry both is unspecified. There is no information given that directly connects the subset of officers who carry guns with the subset that carries clubs. Thus, we cannot definitively conclude whether there are officers who carry both. Without additional information about the relationship between the two groups of officers, the conclusion remains uncertain; therefore, "Cannot say" is the most accurate choice.
