Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: Neither conclusion follows.

Explanation:

The given statement says that the best way to escape from a problem is to solve it. This does not establish the additional claims in the conclusions below.

  • Conclusion about life being dull: "Your life will be dull if you don't face a problem." This does not follow because the statement only identifies solving as the best escape method; it does not claim anything about life becoming dull when problems are avoided. There is no logical link provided between not facing problems and life being dull.

  • Conclusion about always having solutions: "To escape from problems, you should always have some solutions with you." This does not follow because the statement does not require that solutions must be carried at all times. It merely states that solving is the best way to escape, not that pre-prepared solutions are always available or necessary. The conclusion is an unsupported generalization.
