It is required to grasp the statement, analyze the problem or policy it mentions and then decide which of the courses of action logically follow / most appropriate.Statement:Every year, at the beginning or at the end of the monsoons, we have some cases or conjunctivitis, but this year it seems to be a major epidemic witnessed after nearly four years.Courses of action:I) Precautionary measures should be taken after every four years to check this epidemic.II) People should be advised to drink boiled water during rainy season.

Correct answer: D. If neither I nor II follows

A. If only I follows
B. If only II follows
C. If either I or II follows
D. If neither I nor II follows
E. If both I and II follow

Explanation

The statement highlights an epidemic of conjunctivitis, which is typically spread through direct contact rather than through water. Course of action I suggests taking precautionary measures every four years, but the epidemic's timing is not indicated to be predictable in this way. Course of action II recommends drinking boiled water, which is more relevant for preventing waterborne diseases, not conjunctivitis. Therefore, neither course of action is appropriate, making Option D the correct answer.
