Correct Answer: it is possible to make school lunches both healthier and appealing without spending a great deal of money and undertaking a radical transformation.
Explanation:
The final sentence of the paragraph supports choice d. The other choices are not supported by the passage. Choice c may seem correct at first, but the paragraph states that the new initiatives are simple and inexpensive, not major. Choice e might seem to represent a truth, but vegetarian options are not discussed in this paragraph.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Since both I and II provide suitable explanations to the given statement, so both follow.
Correct Answer: Either I or II follows
Explanation:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some books are not pencils'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
