This is true. If you want to prove it to yourself using a Venn diagram, draw a circle that represents the Tregs. Since all Plogs are Tregs, draw a smaller circle inside the Treg circle to represent the Plogs. Since all Plags are Plogs, draw one more circle inside the Plog circle to represent the Plags.
Thus, all of the Plags are inside the Treg circle, so all Plags are Tregs.
You can see from this diagram it is possible that some Tregs and some Plogs might not be Plags, but all of the Plags must be Tregs.

It's false. This is an example of Syllogism. and this violates a rule(forgot what it was called). but i think the error is in Plogs.
If all Plags are PLOGS and (the plogs here is in the form of particular)
all PLOGS are Tregs (and the plogs here is in the form of universal)
then all Plags are Tregs
*if you want to make this example to be true, then the given terms should be parallel. If in the major premise it is particular, then it must also be particular in the minor premise. Well in this case it's not so it's false. (if you studied logic, my explanation should be easily comprehended)

B, only some plags are tregs, use a venn diagram to help you I did. But then maths isn't my strongest point.

Only if all Plogs are Plags. Otherwise, not.

True. By the way, this is called a syllogism.

By the rules of syllogisms, it must be true.
