Discussion
Statement:
A 14 year old school boy was found to be the main culprit behind the recent bank robbery. When he was prosecuted he said that he was inspired by movies on the 'Star movies', a channel beamed by the local Cable T.V. network and this is the latest incident that supports the cause and effect theory under examination.
Conclusions:
I. Movies have a great impact on some young minds.
II. Young minds are adventures.
Answer: A
Correct answer: if only conclusion I follows.
The boy named the films as his inspiration and the statement offers the case as supporting a cause-and-effect theory, so the influence of films on some young minds is what the passage is actually about - conclusion I, which is carefully limited to “some”. Conclusion II generalises about young minds being adventurous, a claim about temperament that the incident does not establish.
