Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: If neither Conclusion I and II follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The premise is a simple necessity claim about sick people. The conclusions attempt to extend it to healthy individuals and to a behavioral habit (home storage), which the premise does not address.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
A statement about one subset (sick people) does not define the complement (healthy people). Some healthy people may take preventive or maintenance medication; some sick people may not store medicine at home. Thus neither I nor II is compelled.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Keep scope narrow: “sick people need medicine.”2) Reject extrapolations to healthy individuals (I) and to storage behaviors (II).
Verification / Alternative check:
Counterexamples exist for both I and II, showing they are not necessary conclusions.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Choosing I or II imports unstated assumptions.
Common Pitfalls:
Reading necessity for a class as exclusivity for others; inferring habits from needs.
Final Answer:
Neither conclusion follows.
