    Question

    In the question given below, a passage is provided

    followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct statement that can be inferred. The university plans to introduce a new attendance-monitoring system that records student entry and exit through biometric devices. If the system is implemented, administrative workload related to attendance will be reduced significantly. However, several student groups argue that biometric systems may compromise privacy. The administration has stated that unless strong objections arise from the majority of students, they will go ahead with the implementation. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
    A If a majority of students object to the system, the administration will not implement the biometric system. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The biometric system is the only method available to reduce administrative workload. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The administration is unconcerned about student privacy. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Most students are in favour of implementing the biometric syste Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The passage clearly states that unless strong objections arise from the majority of students, the administration will implement the biometric system.
    This means: If a majority objects, the administration will reconsider or stop the implementation. Thus, A is directly supported by the passage. B cannot be inferred; no comparison is made with other methods. C cannot be inferred; the administration acknowledges objections may matter. D cannot be inferred; we are not told anything about current student opinion. Hence, only statement A can be inferred.
