Discussion
Humans are naturally compassionate and honest. In a study using strategically placed wallets that appear "lost", it was found that wallets with money are more likely to be returned than wallets without money. Similarly, wallets that had a key and money are more likely to be returned than wallets with the same amount of money alone. This suggests that the primary reason for this behavior is compassion and empathy.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the above passage?
Answer: B
The correct inference is wallets with a key are more likely to be returned because people relate to suffering of others.
The passage concludes that the main reason people return wallets is compassion and empathy. A wallet with a key matters more to its owner, who may be locked out, so returning it relieves greater distress. Reading the key result through the passage's own conclusion gives exactly this option.
The passage says wallets with money are returned more often, so it does not show that people 'do not care about money'. It compares wallets in the study with one another, not with wallets that are really lost. And nothing in it supports the claim that money is always more important than keys.
