You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the three given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing. Statement: The health department has issued a warning that due to rising air pollution levels, respiratory problems may increase significantly in the coming weeks. Courses of Action: I. The warning should be widely circulated through newspapers, television, and social media. II. Hospitals should be instructed to keep additional respiratory medicines and emergency equipment ready. III. Schools should be immediately closed for the next two weeks.
    A None follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The issue directly affects public health, so making the warning widely known is necessary to ensure people take precautions. Hence, Course of Action I follows. As respiratory cases may rise, hospitals must prepare for increased patient load, so Course of Action II also logically follows. Closing schools immediately is an extreme and premature step based only on a possibility of increased problems, not a confirmed emergency. So, III does not follow. Thus, Only Courses of Action I and II follow.
