Statement: "Electric cars reduce air pollution."Inference:

Correct answer: A. Traditional cars contribute to pollution

  • A. Traditional cars contribute to pollution
  • B. All cars should be banned to reduce pollution
  • C. Air quality is improving worldwide
  • D. Roads are becoming safer due to electric cars

Explanation

The correct answer is Option A: 'Traditional cars contribute to pollution.' The statement 'Electric cars reduce air pollution' suggests that electric cars are a cleaner alternative to traditional vehicles, which can be inferred to contribute to pollution. Option B is incorrect because the statement does not support banning all cars, only that electric cars are less polluting. Option C is incorrect as the statement does not provide evidence of global air quality improvement, merely the potential of electric cars to reduce pollution. Option D is irrelevant to the statement, which focuses solely on pollution, not road safety.

About Critical Thinking

Critical thinking examines how conclusions follow from evidence, including claims, assumptions, arguments, inferences and relevant facts. Questions ask you to identify hidden assumptions, distinguish strong from weak evidence, assess cause and effect, recognise common reasoning errors, and decide which statement strengthens or weakens an argument.
