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 - Adversity makes a man wise.
Conclusions -
I. The poor are wisest in the world.
II. One must learn from their experience.
Answer: B
Correct answer: Only II follows
If adversity teaches, then the lesson is to be taken from what one has been through, which is conclusion II. Conclusion I turns a general observation into a ranking, and a spurious one: poverty is one kind of adversity among many, and being wise is not the same as being wisest in the world.
