Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Only conclusion II follows.
Explanation:
The statement says that the most indispensable part of a politician's education in a democracy is the fighting of election, i.e., contesting elections and the skills involved in electioneering.
Conclusion II states that to succeed in politics it is necessary to learn and practice the art of electioneering, which directly matches the meaning of the statement and therefore follows.
Conclusion I introduces additional claims about being "highly educated" and influencing people. The original statement does not claim that broad or high general education or the ability to influence people is required, only that electionfighting is indispensable. Thus conclusion I is not supported.
Therefore, only the conclusion about learning and practicing electioneering follows.
