Now, let's consider each conclusion:

I. Some fruits are trees.

  • This conclusion does not necessarily follow from the given statements. Statement 1 states that all trees are leaves, but it doesn't establish a direct relationship between fruits and trees. Statement 2 mentions that some fruits are leaves, which means there is an overlap between fruits and leaves, but it doesn't imply that some fruits are trees.

II. Some leaves are trees.

  • This conclusion is correct based on the given statements. Statement 1 asserts that all trees are leaves, which means that every tree is a type of leaf. Therefore, the conclusion that some leaves are trees is supported by the information provided.

In summary, conclusion I is not true, but conclusion II is true.

Hence, the second option is correct.
