Statement:
The literacy rate in the state has increased by 15% over the last decade due to government initiatives.
Conclusions:
I. The government's initiatives were effective in promoting education.
II. The state had a very low literacy rate ten years ago.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The statement directly attributes the increase to government initiatives, meaning they were effective (I). However, an increase of 15% doesn't tell us the starting point; it could have increased from 70% to 85%, which is not 'very low'. Thus, II does not follow.
Explanation:
Blooming doesn't guarantee it's spring (could be other season). II is subjective but generally true; blooming flowers make it look beautiful. So II follows.
