Statement — Education is becoming commercialised at a fast pace; in the near future, education for poorer or weaker sections may altogether become a “dream”. Conclusions — I. Till now, education was subsidised. II. A dream cannot be realised.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: if neither I nor II follows

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:The premise warns that commercialization could push education out of reach for poorer sections. We test two conclusions: historical subsidy (I) and an aphorism about dreams (II).

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • The statement is forward-looking: “may become a dream.”
  • No assertion is made about previous subsidies.
  • “Dream” is figurative for “hard to attain,” not a logical claim that dreams cannot be realized.

Concept / Approach:I does not follow; commercialization now does not imply that earlier education was subsidised generally. II is a semantic trap; calling something a “dream” signals difficulty, not impossibility in principle.

Final Answer:Neither I nor II follows.
