Statement : A man must be wise to be a good wrangler. Good wranglers are talkative and boring.

Conclusions : 
I. All the wise persons are boring.
II. All the wise persons are wranglers

  • 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

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

The first sentence gives wisdom as a necessary condition for being a good wrangler, not a sufficient one: every good wrangler is wise, but not every wise man is a wrangler.

  • II - does not follow. It reverses that relation outright.
  • I - does not follow. Boring is asserted of good wranglers. Since only some wise persons are wranglers, the property cannot be carried back to all wise persons.
