the statements that are assumed to be true.

I. All dogs in Springtown go to the park.
II. Peppermint goes to the park.
III. Fluffy never goes to the park.

If all of the above statements are true, which of the following statements must also be true?

(A) Peppermint lives in Springtown.
not necessarily - dogs from other places can go to the park in springfield as well.

(B) Peppermint does not live in Springtown.
no way to tell because information provided is not enough to be sure. peppermint may or may not live in springfield.

(C) Fluffy does not live in Springtown.
this has to be true because all dogs that live in springtown go to the park.

(D) Fluffy lives in Springtown.
this would be clearly false since all dogs that live in springtown go to the park.

(E) Fluffy and Peppermint do not live in Springtown.
peppermint may or may not live in springfield but still goes to the park in springfield.
fluffy clearly does not.

the only statements that can be considered to be true, without a doubt, would be statement C, in my opinion.
