Statements: Although the education system has progressed from the point of view of the number of schools, most of them are ill-equipped and have not achieved excellence in imparting education. Conclusions: I. In future, we should provide good teachers and equipment to these schools. II. We need not open any more schools in the future.
Correct answer: A. Only conclusion I follows.
- A. Only conclusion I follows.
- B. Only conclusion II follows.
- C. Either I or II follows.
- D. Neither I nor II follows.
- E. Both I and II follow.
Explanation
The statement stresses the need to provide good teachers and equipment to schools. So, I follow. However, the fact that the education system is progressing schools does not imply that no more schools should be opened. So, II does not follow.

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.
