1. The university is closed due to rainfall.
2. Rita is a university student.
Conclusions: 1. Because of rainfall, the university is closed.
2. Rita could not go to university due to rain.
Choose the correct option:

• A. Only 1
• B. Only 2
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Hint:

For statement–conclusion questions: \begin{itemize} \item Do not assume facts not given in the statement, \item Conclusions must strictly follow the given information, \item Restatement of the given fact is a valid conclusion. \end{itemize}

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: The given statement clearly mentions that Rita is not going to university today due to rainfall.
Step 2: There is no information provided that the university is closed due to rainfall. Hence, conclusion 1 does not logically follow.
Step 3: Conclusion 2 directly follows from the given statement, as it restates the reason why Rita could not go to university.
Step 4: Therefore, only conclusion 2 is correct.
