Question 1

Statement: Priya says, 'seat cushions are overpriced.' Assumptions: I. The price exceeds reasonable value. II. Most people want seat cushions. Select the correct answer:
Overpriced means price > value (I), not demand (II).
assumption, reasoning

Question 2

Statement: Only dentists are humble. Some staff are dentists. Conclusions: 1. Some staff are humble. 2. All staff are humble. Select the correct answer:
'Only dentists are humble' means humble ⊆ dentists. Some staff are dentists doesn't tell us if those staff are in humble or not.
statement, conclusion

Question 3

Policy Statement: Cities should build more bike lanes. Assumptions: I. Helmets are required. II. Separated lanes improve cyclist safety. Choose the correct answer:
Second assumption directly supports the policy. First is weak or irrelevant.
strength, assumption

Question 4

Policy Statement: Government must promote solar energy. Assumptions: I. Solar energy is unpopular. II. The sun shines everywhere equally. Choose the correct answer:
Neither assumption strongly supports the policy. Both are trivial or irrelevant.
strength, assumption

Question 5

Statement: Only laundry workers are corrupt. Only corrupt are graduates. Conclusions: 1. Only laundry workers are graduates. 2. All laundry workers are graduates. Select the correct answer:
'Only A are B' means B ⊆ A. So corrupt ⊆ laundry workers and graduates ⊆ corrupt, thus graduates ⊆ laundry workers, meaning only laundry workers are graduates. This also implies all laundry workers are graduates? No - careful: Only A are B means B ⊆ A, not A ⊆ B. So only conclusion 1 follows, not conclusion 2.
statement, conclusion

Question 6

Policy Statement: Employers must offer skills training. Assumptions: I. Some employees are experienced. II. Training is essential for career growth. Choose the correct answer:
