Question

Solve this multiple-choice question and choose the correct option.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:Advertisements are persuasive claims from interested parties. A conclusion in this context must be a necessary inference from the statement, not merely what the advertiser says or wants us to believe. Given Data / Assumptions: We know only that the company made the claim. No independent verification of quality or price has been provided. Concept / Approach:From “X claims A and B,” it does not logically follow that A and B are true. Therefore, neither the quality nor the price assertion is established as a conclusion. Step-by-Step Solution: • I: “Product is good in quality” is the advertiser’s claim, not a proven fact.• II: “Price is reasonable” likewise remains unverified.• Hence, neither conclusion follows purely from the existence of the ad copy. Verification / Alternative check:Logical inference demands evidence beyond self-assertion by an interested party. Why Other Options Are Wrong: • Only I / Only II / Both / Either: Each treats the ad’s claim as proof. Common Pitfalls:Taking marketing language as established truth. Final Answer:If neither Conclusion I nor II follows.
