## Prompt

All roses are flowers. Some flowers fade quickly. Does it logically follow that some roses fade quickly? Explain.

## Response

No. The conclusion does **not** logically follow.

## Why not

The statements are:

- All roses are flowers.
- Some flowers fade quickly.

From this, you can only infer that:

- Some flowers fade quickly.
- Roses, if any exist, are among flowers.

You cannot infer that the flowers that fade quickly are roses. The “some flowers” could be lilies, tulips, or any other flowers.

## Counterexample

Imagine a world where:

- All roses are flowers.
- Some daisies fade quickly.
- No roses fade quickly.

Both original statements are true, but the conclusion “some roses fade quickly” is false. So the argument is invalid.

## Bottom line

The premises do **not** guarantee that any rose fades quickly. Would you like me to show this using formal logic notation?
