Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: If only Conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:The statement highlights willingness to pay “any price” for elite schooling, signaling intensity of preference, not necessarily universal affluence.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:We distinguish motivation (value placed on education) from means (being well off). The statement evidences the former but not the latter for the entire parent population.
Step-by-Step Solution:
• I: “All parents are very well off” overgeneralizes and is not supported.• II: Willingness to pay any price implies passionate commitment to good schooling; II follows.Verification / Alternative check:Many may borrow/sacrifice to pay for schooling; passion does not entail wealth.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• I or Both: Introduce universality/wealth not in the premise.• Neither: Incorrect since II follows.Common Pitfalls:Equating willingness with ability for all.
Final Answer:If only Conclusion II follows.
