Critical reasoning — school discipline and reputation: From 'Any student who does not behave properly brings a bad name to himself and to the school', infer whether removal is mandated and whether stricter discipline is ineffective

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation:

Given data

  • Statement: Misbehaving students harm their own and the school's reputation.
  • Conclusions:
    • I: Such students should be removed from the school.
    • II: Stricter discipline does not improve behaviour.

Concept/Approach

The statement diagnoses a reputational effect; it does not prescribe expulsion nor evaluate the efficacy of stricter discipline.


Step-by-Step logic
1) I does not follow: no punitive recommendation is stated.2) II does not follow: no claim about the impact of stricter discipline is made.


Verification/Alternative

Possible remedies could include counseling, warnings, or discipline; the statement is silent on what works.


Common pitfalls

  • Supplying policy conclusions that are not in the premise.

Final Answer
Neither I nor II follows.
