Question and options

Two statements are followed by one conclusion. Decide whether the conclusion is definitely supported by the statements, not at all related with the statements, not supported by the statements to some extent, or contrary to the statements.
Statements: I. Mostly boys enjoy flying kites
II. Mostly girls like to play with dolls
Conclusion: Girls are more intelligent than boys
  1. The conclusion is definitely supported by the statements
  2. The conclusion is not at all related with the statements
  3. The conclusion is not supported by the statements to some extent
  4. The conclusion is contrary to the statements

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - The conclusion is not at all related with the statements
The statements describe what boys and girls like to play with; they say nothing about intelligence. The conclusion comparing the intelligence of girls and boys is therefore not at all related to the statements, rather than merely unsupported or contrary.
