Conclusion
Conclusion
- A poor man is always able
- A poor man has the ability to earn wealth
- A wealthy man is always able
- A poor man can earn wealth if he has ability
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - A poor man can earn wealth if he has ability
The proverb means that ability is the asset a poor man can rely on, so a poor man can earn wealth if he has ability. 'A poor man is always able' and 'a wealthy man is always able' are unwarranted universal claims, and 'a poor man has the ability to earn wealth' wrongly asserts every poor man has the ability.
