    No one held for murder is given bail.
    Smith isn't held for murder.
    So ???
    { 1 } - Smith is given bail.
    { 2 } - Smith isn't given bail.
    { 3 } - Smith is innocent.
    { 4 } - None of these validly follows.

1 is wrong. Please try again.

Maybe Smith isn't given bail -- because maybe he's held for something else (like kidnapping) for which bail is denied. Or maybe he's not held for anything at all.

Maybe he's held for a minor offence and so is given bail.

4 is correct!

    No one held for murder is given bail.
    Smith isn't held for murder.
    So ???
    { 1 } - Smith is given bail.
    { 2 } - Smith isn't given bail.
    { 3 } - Smith is innocent.
    { 4 } - None of these validly follows.

We can't tell from the premises whether he is given bail. For all we know, he might be a kidnapper and the law might deny bail to kidnappers.
