Question and options
Direction: The question has a main statement followed by four statements labelled 1, 2, 3, 4. Choose the ordered pair in which the first statement logically implies the second, given the main statement.
Main statement: It always rains in my backyard.
1. It is raining
2. We are getting wet
3. We are in my backyard
4. It will soon start raining
1. It is raining
2. We are getting wet
3. We are in my backyard
4. It will soon start raining
- 3, 4
- 3, 1
- 3, 2
- 1, 3
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 3, 1
Since it always rains in my backyard, being in my backyard (3) implies that it is raining (1): the pair 3, 1. Being in the backyard does not imply that we are getting wet, since we may be under cover, and it does not imply that rain will only start soon, since it is already raining, and the fact that it is raining does not show that we are in the backyard.
