Question and options
Direction: Accept the factual assumptions required by the question, even if you believe that the statement is false. Answer the question on the basis of the given statement.
If it is true that ‘men are seldom honest’, which of the following statement conveys the same meaning?
- At least one man is not honest.
- Men are not honest.
- Men are usually honest.
- Men are honest only on rare occasions.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Men are honest only on rare occasions.
"Seldom" means rarely, so "men are seldom honest" means men are honest only on rare occasions. "At least one man is not honest" is merely implied, not the same meaning; "Men are not honest" says men are never honest; "Men are usually honest" reverses the meaning.
