Critical reasoning — interpret a proverb style claim Statement: • The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it. Conclusions to evaluate: I. Your life will be dull if you do not face a problem. II. To escape from problems, you should always have some solutions with you.

Introduction / Context:
Proverb style statements often contain guidance but not exhaustive rules. Here the sentence advises that solving a problem is the best way to escape it. Our task is to test each conclusion for strict logical implication, not for motivational plausibility or common sense appeal.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• A single guidance claim: solving a problem is the best escape from it.
• No claims about emotional states, lifestyle, or constant preparedness are provided.
• Words like best indicate a comparison of methods, not a prediction about life events.

Concept / Approach:
Apply the must follow test. A conclusion follows only if it is unavoidable in every situation that fits the statement. Added qualifiers like always, dull life, or psychologically loaded claims typically do not follow unless explicitly stated.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Even if someone prefers to prevent problems or delegate solutions, the statement remains a value judgement about the best method, not a directive to carry solutions in advance or an assertion about life without problems.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Only I or only II: each imports content beyond the given claim.
• Either I or II: neither is logically necessary, so the either clause fails.
• Both: doubles the overreach.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing an evaluative best with a universal always; reading emotional or lifestyle outcomes into a brief aphorism.

Final Answer:
Neither I nor II follows
