Consider the following statement and decide which of the conclusion logically follows from the statements. Statements: If you’re a good computer programmer, then we definitely have a job for you. Conclusions: 1. Good computer programmers are never jobless. 2. We are in need of a good computer programmer. Correct Answer Only conclusion 2 follows

The use of the word ‘definitely’ indicates the employer’s need for a good computer programmer.

Therefore, conclusion 2 follows.

The author of the statement certainly needs a good computer programmer.

But we cannot conclude that this is the case in general for any employer.

Nor do we know if there are as many jobs as the number of good computer programmer.

Therefore, conclusion 1 does not follow.

Hence, only conclusion 2 follows.
