Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: (i) (ii)
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
“Either … or …” commonly signals exclusivity of actual going, but (i) uses “may,” which is a possibility claim, not a factual assertion.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
If (ii) “Anu will go” states the actual outcome, then (i) “Tanu may go” can still be true as a mere possibility statement, even if ultimately she does not go.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Select (i)(ii) to avoid contradiction while honoring exclusivity in the factual outcome.
Verification / Alternative check:
Pairs asserting both “will go” and “will not go” for the same person are contradictions and must be rejected.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
(ii)(iv) is a direct contradiction for Anu; (iii)(i) contradicts for Tanu; (ii)(i) vs (i)(ii) are equivalent in content—this key uses (i)(ii) in order.
Common Pitfalls:
Treating “may” as “will.”
Final Answer:
(i) (ii)
