CRITICAL REASONING - 2

1. (d): Argument I is forceful as it addresses the issue raised by 3.2. (d): One person resigning should normally have nothing to

2. (b): Course of action B is the obvious solution. The first
course of action provides a temporary solution, that too only
to the residential areas- it is narrow.
The main statement does not say that only residential areas
are affected.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
3. (e): The two statements have no causal connection with each
other.
4. (c): Actually (a), (b) and (d) makes support to author’s con-
tention. Only (c) gives that trials have been completed for
regular production.
5. (b): Expelling may not be a welcome step and some may take
it as too harsh. II definitely follows because students must be
informed of the development. III is rubbish: nobody can give
a guarantee of the success of such a thing.

TYPE-1
1.1. (b): Statement I is weak as it does not include the cricketers.
Only viewers cannot kill a game. Further, “demise of the game”
is merely an opinion not corroborated by facts.
Statement II is strongly reasoned out with facts.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
1.2. (a): This item asks you to find a hidden assumption of the
argument. The speaker claims that in order to ensure that we
have sufficient energy, we should quit using petroleum (an
energy source) to manufacture plastics. If we do, so he claims,
we will have made a significant step towards energy indepen-
dence. This arguments, however, assumes that we use a lot of
petroleum in the manufacture of plastic - an assumption ques-
tioned by (a).

TYPE-2
2.1. (a): Action A is a right step by the government and a practical
one. However it is not possible to provide ‘high security’ in all
stations and public places in the country over a prolonged
period.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
2.2. (d): I and II follow because both of these will help in check-
ing cases of kidnapping. III is also a good suggestion consid-
ering that today even 7 – 8 years old rids are getting black-
belt in martial arts: such kids would definitely be a deterrant
for kidnappers.
2.3. (a): Only course of action (I) is feasible.

TYPE-3
3.1. (c): Event B in past tense, A in present. So, A must be the
effect. But we can’t definitely say if her skin infection is caused
by the unpotable drinking water.
