Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option A — Only II and III
Detailed Solution
II prevents plagiarism by teaching proper citation; III detects it and punishes proportionately. Both follow.
I is excessive (a permanent bar for every case is disproportionate); IV stops the activity altogether instead of solving the problem.
⚠ Common trap
Option D includes IV, which 'solves' plagiarism by abolishing student publications.Quick tip
Remember: Reject courses that are extreme (permanent bans) or that abandon the activity itself.

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.
