In this question, a statement is given, followed by three courses of action, numbered I, II and III. You must assume everything in the statement to be true, and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the given courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.Statement:The Government notices that the air quality in major cities is becoming dangerous to health.Course of ActionsI.The government should immediately enforce stricter pollution control laws.II.The public should be educated and encouraged to use public transport instead of private vehicles.III.The government should wait until pollution becomes critical before taking action.

Answer: Option C — Both I and II follow
Detailed Solution
The problem is air quality already dangerous to health, so a good course of action must reduce pollution now.
I (stricter pollution laws) and II (shifting people to public transport) both cut pollution and are practical, so both follow.
III asks the government to wait until the situation is critical; that worsens the problem, so it does not follow.
✓ Check
None of the four options pairs III with anything, and I and II each pass the "does it reduce the problem?" test, so (C).⚠ Common trap
(A) Only I follows is the common slip of treating public awareness as too soft; education plus public transport is a standard, workable remedy.Quick tip
A course of action follows if it is practical and reduces the stated problem; "wait and watch" never follows.

Statement & Course of Actions — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Statement & Course of Actions, a key topic in the Logical Reasoning section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
Statement and course of action is a logical deduction question type. You are given a statement describing a problem or situation, followed by suggested courses of action. You must decide which actions are practical, reasonable and likely to solve or reduce the problem. A good course of action deals directly with the problem described, is realistic to carry out, and doesn't create bigger problems than it solves. Actions that are too extreme (such as banning something entirely or shutting down a whole service), impractical, or unrelated to the problem don't follow. For example, if a statement says many people fell ill after eating at a particular restaurant, inspecting that restaurant is a sensible action, while closing every restaurant in the city is not. Both short-term relief and long-term solutions can be valid courses of action. Practise the statement and course of action questions below. Each solution explains why each action does or doesn't follow.
