Fact 1: Most stuffed toys are stuffed with beans.
Fact 2: There are stuffed bears and stuffed tigers.
Fact 3: Some chairs are stuffed with beans.
If the above statements are fact, which of the following statements must also be fact?
1. Only children's chairs are stuffed with beans.
2. All stuffed tigers are stuffed with beans.
3. Stuffed monkeys are not stuffed with beans.
The goal is to determine which statement is guaranteed to be true based on the three given facts. We must evaluate each statement for 100% certainty.
Fact 3 only says "Some chairs are stuffed with beans." It does not specify the type of chair (e.g., children's, adult's, etc.). The word "children's" is new, unsupported information.
Fact 1 states that "Most stuffed toys are stuffed with beans." The word "Most" implies more than half, but it does not mean "All." Since stuffed tigers are a type of stuffed toy, it's possible some or all of them belong to the group that is not stuffed with beans.
The original facts do not mention stuffed monkeys at all. We have zero information to confirm or deny what they might be stuffed with.
Conclusion: None of the three statements can be proven to be a fact with absolute certainty based on the information provided.
Final Answer: The correct option is D. None of the statements 1, 2, 3 are true.
