Question:

Read the given statement and conclusions carefully and decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement.

Statement:

The importance of a person is not dependent only on one’s status and money.

Conclusions:

I. The goal of most people is just to acquire more money.

II. There are some factors other than status and money which contribute to the importance of a person.

Options:

Only conclusion II follows.

Only conclusion I follows.

Both conclusions I and II follow.

Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Correct Answer:

Only conclusion II follows.

Explanation:

Statement: The importance of a person is not dependent only on one’s status and money.

And,

The Conclusions are;

Conclusion I. The goal of most people is just to acquire more money.

=> This conclusion doesn't follow, as the statement suggests that importance is not solely based on money.

Conclusion II. There are some factors other than status and money which contribute to the importance of a person.

=> This conclusion follows, as it aligns with the statement that importance is not solely dependent on status and money.

Thus, Only conclusion II follows is correct.
