Directions: In the question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested course of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Statement: Students at school are often clueless about the link between what they study and how to use it in shaping their careers. 

Courses of Action:

I.Sudents must be made aware of the variety of avenues available for them as soon as they become capable of understanding matters related to careers.

II.Focus must be laid on securing good marks, as good results always drive good careers.

1. Only I follows.
2. Only II follows
3. Both I and II follow.
4. Either I or II follows

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only I follows.

Option 1; Only I follows.

The statement talks about school going students being unsure of what to do with the education they get and how to employ it in shaping their careers.

Course of action I suggests that they should be made aware of the actual purpose behind the education they get and the variety of opportunities available to them as early. This is logical as it will help them have a vision for themselves. Therefore, course of action 1 follows.

The second course suggests that entire focus should be laid on gaining marks and based on the scores they can select their careers. This is illogical as awareness can develop interest and being unaware of what use education is, may leave a student disinterested. Therefore, course action II does not follow.

Hence,option 1 is correct.
