Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: A Statement–Conclusion item is solved by checking whether each conclusion only restates a fact the statement already gives about the person, not by importing outside information. A conclusion follows exactly when its content already sits inside the statement; it fails when it needs something the statement never supplies.
Application:
The statement's own wording gives two separate facts about her: that her schedule is described as ‘very busy’, and that she still finds time for rest in spite of it.
A ‘very busy schedule’ is exactly what the word industrious describes — someone who takes on and works through a heavy load. Restating that as Conclusion II adds no outside assumption.
The statement defines organized persons as the ones who find time for rest; describing her as finding time for rest in spite of that same busy schedule places her directly inside that description, so Conclusion I is likewise a restatement, not an inference beyond the statement.
Cross-check: Neither conclusion pulls in anything the statement doesn't already state — unlike a claim such as ‘Sunita enjoys her work’, which the statement gives no basis for and which would correctly fail. Since both of the statement's own descriptive facts about her map onto the two conclusions, no combination that keeps only one of them, or drops both, fits.
So both conclusions follow from the statement.
