Statement:
Consuming too much sugar leads to obesity and diabetes.
Conclusions:
I. Sugar should be completely banned.
II. People who consume less sugar are completely safe from diabetes.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Both I and II follow
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Only conclusion I follows
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement highlights the danger of 'too much' sugar, not sugar in general, making a total ban (I) an illogical extreme. Also, diabetes could be caused by genetics or other factors, so consuming less sugar does not guarantee 'complete safety' (II). Neither follows.
Explanation:
I follows from the general rule 'all birds have wings' applied to penguins. II is a fallacy; having wings doesn't make a bat a bird. Only I follows.
