To find the first intermediate conclusion, we need to combine the first two premises. Combining them, we get:
All F are G and no T are N.
This means that some G are not N. Now, we also know that some K are N. Therefore, we can conclude:
Some K are not G.
Combining this with the first premise "All F are G," we get:
Some K are not F.
So, the correct choice is E, "Some K are not T."
