You have to take the given statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the given statement. Statement: Due to heavy snowfall in Canada, the normal life of Canadians has come to a standstill. Conclusion: 1. The Government of Canada must take measures to help people and prevent loss of life and property. 2. The government should ask all citizens to stay at home till the weather changes. Correct Answer Only conclusion 2 follows The statement tells that the normal life of Canadians is disrupted or paused because of heavy snowfall. Conclusion 1 suggests that the government should take measures to save the lives and property of people. According to the statement, "only normal life is affected in Canada". The statement does not suggest any threat to life and property due to the snowfall. Therefore, conclusion 1 does not follow. The government asking people to stay at home is reasonable because the statement implies that the weather conditions are bad and not conducive to moving around as they do normally. Therefore, conclusion 2 follows. Hence the correct answer is "option 1".
