Statement: Last summer, Ankit attended a summer camp where he participated in hiking, swimming, and boating. This summer, he is looking forward to a music camp where he hopes to sing, dance, and learn to play the guitar. Which conclusion logically follows from the information above?

Introduction / Context:We have a short narrative: last year, Ankit attended an outdoor-activity camp; this year, he looks forward to a music camp and explicitly “hopes to sing, dance, and learn guitar.” We must identify the conclusion that necessarily follows from the given lines—not from external assumptions.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Past: hiking, swimming, boating.
• Present plan: a music camp; Ankit hopes to sing, dance, and learn guitar.
• No information about parental preferences, long-term trends, or dislikes.

Concept / Approach:When a subject “hopes to” perform specific activities, it indicates desire/liking for those activities, unless contradicted by the text. The other options introduce unstated motives or quantifiers (e.g., “every summer”).

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Remove each option and ask: would the passage remain true? Only D is entailed by the text content itself.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They add new facts or strength of preference not in the passage.

Common Pitfalls:Over-generalising from two instances; attributing motives to parents; reading “hopes to” as a mere possibility rather than a sign of interest.

Final Answer:Ankit likes to sing and dance.
