Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: if only conclusion I follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The statement explicitly mentions an amendment in 1950 to a 1938 Act. We test which conclusions necessarily follow.



Given Data / Assumptions:


  • Historical fact: amendment occurred.
  • No rule is stated about intervals between amendments.


Concept / Approach:
From “amended in 1950,” it necessarily follows that the Act can be amended (I). Conclusion II asserts a fixed twelve-year wait between amendments, which is not stated or implied.



Step-by-Step Solution:


I: Directly supported by the occurrence of an amendment.II: Adds a specific interval rule absent from the premise → does not follow.
