Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Only conclusion II follows.
Reasoning:
Conclusion I (Unlike other states, state 'A' has no desire to make repayment): Does not follow. The statement only reports a request for waiver and a moratorium; that shows a need or request for relief, not an absence of desire to repay or a comparison with other states.
Conclusion II (State 'A's financial condition does not appear to be satisfactory): Follows. Seeking a waiver and asking for a moratorium on repayment reasonably indicates financial difficulty and inability to meet repayments, so this conclusion is supported by the statement.
Therefore, only the conclusion that the state's financial condition appears unsatisfactory is supported by the given statement.
