Statement: The police arrested the thief. Conclusions: I. The thief was caught red-handed. II. The stolen goods were recovered. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Statement:
In a recent survey, 80% of employees preferred remote work over office work to maintain a work-life balance.
Conclusions:
I. Office work completely destroys work-life balance.
II. Work-life balance is a priority for a majority of employees.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
The statement shows a preference, not an absolute destructive nature of office work (Conclusion I is extreme). Because 80% (a majority) made a choice based on maintaining it, Conclusion II logically follows.
Statement: The Bank of England's move to auction 25 metric tons of gold drew plenty of bidders looking for a bargain, but was criticized by major gold producers worldwide.
Conclusions:
I. The Bank of England should not auction gold which it possesses to keep steady international prices of gold.
II. Bidders should quote higher gold prices to retain present value of gold in the international markets.
Explanation:
Neither conclusion follows. The statement merely reports the auction and the criticism; it does not logically lead to a 'should' statement about whether the auction should happen (I). Similarly, advice to bidders (II) is not a logical conclusion from the given information.
