    Question

    In each question below is given a statement followed

    by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Statement: Due to increasing complaints about misleading advertisements, the consumer protection department has instructed companies to provide clear and verifiable claims in all their promotional materials. Conclusions: I. The consumer protection department believes that unclear or exaggerated claims can mislead customers. II. The consumer protection department wants companies to increase their advertising budgets.
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The instruction to provide clear and verifiable claims is directly aimed at preventing customers from being misled, which means: Conclusion I follows, as the action is taken specifically because misleading advertisements are a concern. Conclusion II does not follow, since nothing in the statement suggests any intention related to advertising budgets. Thus, only conclusion I is supported.
