Discussion
In the question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II.
Give answer
(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.
Statement - Fortune favours the bold.
Conclusions -
I. The necessary ingredient for success is risk.
II. Cowards never achieve success.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Only I follows
To say fortune favours the bold is to make boldness - the willingness to take a risk - the condition of success, which is what conclusion I asserts. Conclusion II converts that into an absolute denial for the timid. The saying is about what fortune favours, not about what it forbids, so the stronger claim goes beyond it.
