    Question

    Read the following information carefully and answer the

    question that follows. You must assume everything in the information to be true. On an average, people who regularly volunteer live longer than those who do not. Endorphins, natural opiates of the brain, have been proven to be released when people engage in ‘doing good’, a category that undoubtedly includes volunteering. There must be a connection because endorphins are known to help people live longer when they are released regularly. Which of the following conclusions logically follow(s) from the given information? I) Endorphins are released only when people engage in volunteering activities. II) There are other ways in which people can engage in ‘doing good’.
    A Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Conclusion I: Endorphins are released only when people engage in volunteering activities. The passage says endorphins are released when people engage in “doing good,” which includes volunteering. It does not say volunteering is the only way to release endorphins. Conclusion I does not follow. Conclusion II: There are other ways in which people can engage in ‘doing good’. Since volunteering is included in “doing good,” it implies there could be other activities in ‘doing good’ besides volunteering.   Conclusion II logically follows.   Answer: Only Conclusion II follows.
