Question:

Statement : Modern man influences his destiny by the choice he make unlike in the past.

Conclusions I. earlier There were less options available to man.

II. There was no desire in the past to influence the destiny.

Which of the conclusion logically follows from the information given in the statement.

Options:

If only I follows

If only II follows

If both I and II follow

Neither I nor II follows

Correct Answer:

If only I follows

Explanation:

The statement says "Modern man influences his destiny by the choice he makes unlike in the past", which implies that there are more options available to modern man compared to the past.

Conclusion I "earlier There were less options available to man" logically follows from this statement.

Conclusion II "There was no desire in the past to influence the destiny" is not logically supported by the statement, as it does not provide any information about people's desires in the past.

Thus, If only I follows is correct.
