Direction: In this question, a statement/group of statements is given, followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the given statements.
Statement: All that glitters is not gold.
Conclusion:
Conclusion:
- Non-metals also glitter
- Only gold glitters
- Not all metals glitter
- Glittering things may be deceptive
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Glittering things may be deceptive
The proverb says not everything that glitters is gold, i.e. appearances can deceive, so only "glittering things may be deceptive" follows. The claims that non-metals also glitter, that only gold glitters and that not all metals glitter are not contained in the statement ("only gold glitters" even contradicts it).
