How to think it through (Try to break it): Draw a circle for each word. “All A are B”: A inside B. “No A are B”: apart. “Some A are B”: overlapping. Try to draw the circles so the conclusion is false while every statement stays true. If you cannot, the conclusion follows (Yes). If you can, it does not definitely follow (No).
