Dr, Singh assured a FICCI delegation that he would take every possible action to bring down food prices.

Which of the following can be concluded from the given statement?

  • A.Food prices will certainly come down.
  • B.It is the responsibility of Dr. Singh to control the food prices.
  • C.Dr.Singh is the food minister
  • D.It is possible to bring down food prices.

Answer: B

Correct answer: It is the responsibility of Dr. Singh to control the food prices.

A person gives an assurance about a matter only where it falls within his authority to act, so his undertaking to take every possible action places the matter in his charge. The alternative asserts that prices will certainly come down, which is a prediction about the outcome; an assurance of effort is not a guarantee of result, and the statement promises the first, not the second.
