Discussion

In the following question, a statement/group of statements is given followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the statement(s).

Statement - All that glitters is not gold.

  • A.Non-metals also glitter.
  • B.Not all gems glitter.
  • C.Only diamond glitters.
  • D.There may be deception in glittering things.

Answer: D

Correct answer: There may be deception in glittering things.

The proverb warns that appearance and value do not always agree: something may glitter and still not be gold. That is a caution about deception, and the keyed conclusion states it with the same tentativeness. The others introduce specific claims about non-metals, gems and diamonds on which the proverb is entirely silent.
