Accepted Answer

To solve this, we analyze the relationship between the statements.

Statement 1 says all artists are whimsical. Statement 2 says some artists are drug addicts.

By combining these two, we can conclude that the specific group of artists who are drug addicts must also be whimsical, because according to Statement 1, every single artist is whimsical. Therefore, there is a common group of people who are both drug addicts and whimsical. This directly supports option B: Some drug addicts are whimsical.

Option A is incorrect because the statements do not establish a link between all artists and frustration. Option C is incorrect because Statement 3 says frustrated people are prone to becoming addicts, not that all of them are. Option D is incorrect because there is no information linking whimsicality to frustration.
