By and large teachers can influence scientific attitude of the students. Correct Answer Only conclusion II follows
Let us examine the conclusions:
Conclusion 1: Students do not have scientific attitude.
There is no information in the statement regarding the scientific attitude of the students and thus this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion 2: By and large teachers can influence scientific attitude of the students.
Statement 1 says that Teachers are role models of the students and statement 2 says that teachers are responsible for developing scientific attitude in their students. Thus both the statements can point to the above conclusion. This is because the teachers as role models can influence the scientific attitudes that they are already responsible for developing.
