Read the given statement and courses of action carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, select the option that depicts the relationship between the statement and the courses of action. Statement: Floods have impacted most of the areas in Chennai. Courses of Action:

(I) Government should give only monetary relief to the impacted areas.
(II) Impacted areas to be given food for people, fodder for cattle, and medicines.

A.Only (I) follows.
B.Only (II) follows.
C.Neither (I) nor (II) follows.
D.Both (I) and (II) follow.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: B

Only course of action II follows. After floods in Chennai the urgent needs of the affected people are food for the people, fodder for the cattle and medicines, and giving these is a sensible and necessary step.

Course I, that the government should give only monetary relief, does not follow. The word only makes it unreasonable, since money cannot by itself provide food, medicine and shelter at once to people cut off by floods, and the statement gives no ground for excluding other relief. So just course II follows, and the options with I are wrong.

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

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.

A.Only 1 follows
B.Only 2 follows
C.Neither 1 nor 2 follows
D.Both 1 and 2 follow

Exam Year(s)

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.
