What conclusion can be drawn from the premises "Socrates is a man" and "All men are mortal"?

Tautology
No budget committee member serves on the planning committee.
No giraffes and no bears are on display.
Socrates is mortal

The correct answer is: Socrates is mortal

The correct answer is D. From the premises "Socrates is a man" and "All men are mortal," we can logically deduce that Socrates, being a man, is also mortal. This conclusion follows the rules of syllogism, where if all men are mortal and Socrates is a man, then Socrates must be mortal as well. Option A, tautology, is incorrect as it refers to a statement that is true by necessity or by virtue of its logical form. Option B and C are unrelated to the premises given and do not follow logically from them.
