Read the given statement and courses of action carefully and decide which of the given courses of action follow(s) from the statement.

Omicron variant of COVID-19 is spreading all over the world and has become a matter of emergency concern.
Courses of Action:
1. Scientists are studying this variant and emphasising the guidelines to follow.
2. People are travelling abroad to visit places.
DSSSB PGT - 2023,
Answer: A
Only course 1 follows. The statement says the Omicron variant is spreading worldwide and is an emergency concern. Course 1, in which scientists study the variant and stress the guidelines to follow, is a direct and sensible response to a spreading variant. Course 2, that people are travelling abroad to visit places, does not respond to the concern; travel would help the variant spread, so it cannot be a course of action that follows from the statement. Hence the answer is Only 1. Only 2, Neither and Both are wrong because course 1 is clearly appropriate and course 2 is not.
