XYZ became the class monitor, for the month of June, taking over from ABC, who was the class monitor in the month of May. XYZ's popularity has gone down in class, and he believes that it is due to him not making excuses for the students who come late to class, and reporting them to the teacher instead, and also because he does well in academics, and believes that the others are jealous of him. 

Which argument would weaken XYZ's belief in the reasons for his lack of popularity?


1. ABC scored 87% in his exams, and did his job well, but was still disliked.
2. Class monitors are always those who score poorly.
3. Even after ABC's scores dropped, he was disliked.
4. None of the above.

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Even after ABC's scores dropped, he was disliked.

Option 1 strengthens XYZ's argument, as ABC has scored well, and is doing a good job, and is thus, disliked. It aligns with XYZ's beliefs. Hnece, it is wrong. Option 2 is an assumption that is not valid. Hence, option 2 is wrong. Option 3 is correct, as even after ABC's scores dropped, he was disiked. Hence, marks aren't the reason that he was disliked, and thus XYZ's belief is wrong.

Hence, option 3 is the answer.
