Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: If only Conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The statement contrasts wide awareness of “great heritage” with a narrow recognition of science within that heritage. We must determine which conclusion is compelled by this contrast.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
If only a small minority includes science within heritage, then many people do not recognise a strong scientific heritage. That supports Conclusion II. However, Conclusion I claims many consider science to have made heritage great, which conflicts with “few.”
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Check edge cases: Even if “few” were, say, 10%, “many” usually denotes a significantly larger fraction; thus I is inconsistent with the stated “few.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option including I is incompatible with the premise; “neither” overlooks the clear implication supporting II.
Common Pitfalls:
Misreading “few” as “some significant number,” or equating “few” with “many.”
Final Answer:
If only Conclusion II follows.
