Two statements are given followed by two conclusions as responses. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from the commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusion(s) can definitely be drawn from the given statements. Statements: The education system failed to nurture children as they feel pressured to get high grades. Depression is very common among school students. Conclusions: Students suffer from depression as subjects of their interests are not being taught in schools. II. Pressure to get high grades can be the cause of depression among students. Correct Answer Only Conclusion II follows.
From the above statements, we can conclude that school students are suffering from depression and that they feel pressured to get high grades. So we can say that this pressure and the non-nurturing environment can be a cause of depression for the students. Hence, we can draw conclusion II from these statements but conclusion I stands to be invalid as we do not know anything about the subjects being taught in schools and whether they are interesting for the students or not. Therefore, option 2 is the right answer.
