When stating "Some employees of the US Government are CBP Officers", what can be concluded?

  1. Only some CBP Officers are government employees

  2. All government employees are CBP Officers

  3. At least one employee is a CBP Officer

  4. No employees can be CBP Officers

The correct answer is: At least one employee is a CBP Officer

The statement "Some employees of the US Government are CBP Officers" indicates that within the larger group of U.S. Government employees, there exists a subset that specifically identifies as CBP Officers. This confirms that at least one person in the broader category of government employees holds the title of CBP Officer, thus supporting the conclusion that at least one employee is a CBP Officer. In contrast, the other options draw conclusions that are not supported by the original statement. For instance, asserting that only some CBP Officers are government employees would imply limitations that were not stated. The claim that all government employees are CBP Officers would be an overgeneralization not reflected in the source statement. Additionally, stating that no employees can be CBP Officers directly contradicts the original assertion, which clearly recognizes this subset exists. The correct conclusion emphasizes the existence of at least one CBP Officer among government employees, underscoring the relationship between the two groups.
