Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: if neither Conclusion I nor II follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The statement gives a sufficiency-type recommendation (morning walks are beneficial). We must not convert it into universal necessities or into negative claims about other activities.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
From “X is good,” it does not follow that “all good outcomes require X,” nor that “not-X is bad.” These are classic invalid inferences.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) I: “All healthy people go for morning walks” converts a sufficiency into a necessity; the premise does not warrant that → does not follow.2) II: Nothing is said about evening walks. They could be good, neutral, or bad; the premise is silent → does not follow.
Verification / Alternative check:
Had the statement said “only morning walks make you healthy,” I might follow. Or if it had condemned evening walks, II might follow. Neither is present.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option admitting I or II reads more than what is asserted.
Common Pitfalls:
Illicitly converting sufficiency to necessity; assuming mutually exclusive benefits across times of day.
Final Answer:
if neither Conclusion I nor II follows
