Answer i got: ostrich implies nine feet.
but i have a feeling my answer is totally wrong. can u guys help me?
ostriches=9 feet tall
Birds in aviary=birds belong to me
ostrich=does not live on mince pies
birds belong to me=9 feet tall
cancel all that are in common: the ostriches, birds belong to me, and 9 feet tall.
You are left with the conclusion:
The birds in my aviary do not live on mince pies.
Answer^^^
It is made clear that the ostrich is the only bird that is 9 feet tall, thus being the only bird that the person can own but both of which are conclusions that can be plainly seen,along with all the birds in the aviary belonging to the person.
You need to find the one not stated I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Sorry if this is late.
Of the given statements, let's break them down to identify the relevant information:
1) No birds, except ostriches, are nine feet high.
2) There are no birds in this aviary that belong to anyone but me.
3) No ostrich lives on mince pie.
4) I have no birds less than nine feet high.
To draw a conclusion, we need to find a statement that directly connects or combines the information provided. By analyzing the statements, we can see that statement 1 implies that only ostriches are nine feet high. This means that any bird that is not an ostrich cannot be nine feet high. Combining this information with statement 4, we can conclude that all of the birds owned by the person answering the question (referred to as "me" in the statements) are ostriches, as they are the only birds that meet both conditions.
Therefore, the conclusion we can draw from the given statements is: All the birds owned by the person answering the question are ostriches.
To draw a conclusion using all of the given statements, let's analyze the information provided:
1) No birds, except ostriches, are nine feet high.
This statement tells us that only ostriches are nine feet high, and no other birds share this height.
2) There are no birds in this aviary that belong to anyone but me.
This statement indicates that all the birds in the aviary belong to the speaker.
3) No ostrich lives on mince pie.
This statement suggests that ostriches do not consume mince pie as food.
4) I have no birds less than nine feet high.
This statement implies that all the birds owned by the speaker have a height of at least nine feet.
Now, let's combine these statements to draw a conclusion:
Given that only ostriches are nine feet high (statement 1) and the speaker has no birds with a height less than nine feet (statement 4), we can deduce that all the birds owned by the speaker must be ostriches. This conclusion is supported by the fact that the speaker mentions owning the birds in the aviary (statement 2). Therefore, the correct conclusion is that all the birds in the aviary are ostriches, belonging to the speaker.
