Evaluate conclusions about ethics from a strong claim Statement: • It is almost impossible to survive and prosper in this world without sacrificing ethics and morality. Conclusions to evaluate: I. Society appreciates some concepts but may not uphold them. II. Concepts of ethics and morality are not practicable in life.

Introduction / Context:The statement is a pessimistic view that to survive and also prosper one must sacrifice ethics and morality. We must test which conclusion is an unavoidable logical consequence and which goes beyond the scope of what is said.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• A double goal is considered: survival plus prosperity.
• The claim says this dual goal is almost impossible without sacrificing ethics and morality.
• No direct commentary about society’s appreciation is present.

Concept / Approach:When a statement says one must sacrifice certain ideals to achieve goals, a natural inference is that strict adherence to those ideals is impracticable if one wants that outcome. However, broader social commentary about what the world appreciates or upholds is not guaranteed.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:If ethics were practicable while achieving survival and prosperity, the assertion about necessary sacrifice would be false. Therefore the viewpoint inherently treats them as impracticable for that outcome, supporting II.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Only I: adds a social appreciation claim not present.
• Either / Neither / Both: do not match the direct implication regarding practicability captured by II.

Common Pitfalls:Reading the sentence as a universal about all aspects of life; the focus is specifically on achieving survival plus prosperity.

Final Answer:Only conclusion II follows
