    Question

    In the question given below, a passage is given

    followed by statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Elderly individuals often rely on caregivers for daily assistance, leaving the responsibility of their well-being in the hands of family members or professional nursing staff. For wealthy seniors, there is often an additional party involved: estate managers or financial advisors. Because these advisors often receive commissions or bonuses based on the frequency of financial transactions or shifts in the senior's portfolio, there is a distinct possibility of financial abuse. 1. The presence of a financial incentive can create a risk of someone taking advantage of a vulnerable person. 2. Family members and nursing staff are more trustworthy than financial advisors. 3. Wealthy seniors who employ financial advisors face a specific risk of abuse that those without such advisors do not.
    A Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The premise tells us that wealthy seniors have financial advisors who benefit financially from the senior's portfolio movements. This can make them vulnerable to abuse more than those seniors who do not have advisors with a motive to manipulate funds for commissions. Both 1 and 3 follow from this. Thus, (c) is the right answer. 2 is incorrect as it makes a value judgment on the trustworthiness of family and nurses; the passage gives insufficient information to draw this conclusion or to compare their integrity to that of advisors.
