Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Only Assumption I is valid
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This is a logical structure question. The statement links intelligence → creativity (a directional relation). It assumes some positive connection between the two, but it does not assert the converse.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
A conditional “If A then B” assumes a relevance link between A and B. It does not require “If B then A.” Therefore I is valid as a minimal link; II is not implied.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify direction: intelligence → creativity.2) Necessity: accept at least a relatedness between the variables → I.3) The converse is not entailed; II is unnecessary.
Verification / Alternative check:
It is possible to have creative individuals who are not highly intelligent by some definitions; the original statement could still stand.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only II/Both/Neither mischaracterize the logical direction and necessity.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming equivalence (A iff B) where only a one-way implication is stated.
Final Answer:
Only Assumption I is valid.
