Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Key interpretation: The statement says that people who speak a lot against corruption are those who have taken it themselves. In logical terms, all people who speak strongly against corruption are members of the group who have taken corruption.
Conclusion I: The statement identifies the speakers as people who have taken corruption. This supports the idea that it is easier (or that those people are the ones who) speak against corruption, so conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II: If people who have taken corruption are the ones speaking strongly against it, this behavior indicates hypocrisy or double standards. Therefore conclusion II follows.
Final inference: Both conclusions follow from the given statement.
