A Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 1: All 9th floor offices have wall-to-wall carpeting. Statement 2: No wall-to-wall carpeting is pink. This means the carpeting on the 9th floor cannot be pink. Statement 3: None of the 9th floor offices has pink wall-to-wall carpeting. This is logically valid - since the carpeting exists and isn't pink, statement 3 follows necessarily. This tests categorical syllogistic reasoning.
