Logical Deduction — Statements & Conclusions Statement: "Industrial Revolution, which began in Europe, brought about the modern age." Which conclusions follow from the statement?

Introduction / Context:The prompt links a revolution (Industrial Revolution) to a transformative social outcome (the modern age). We must evaluate two general conclusions about revolution.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Conclusion I: Disparity between rich and poor results in revolution.
• Conclusion II: Revolution overhauls society.

Concept / Approach:We can only infer what is supported. The statement provides no causal premise about inequality producing revolution. However, it does present a revolution that dramatically transformed society (ushered in a modern age), supporting a generalization about the overhaul effect.

Step-by-Step Solution:I fails: The premise never mentions economic disparity or causes of revolution. Therefore, we cannot generalize about inequality as a cause.II follows: The Industrial Revolution is an instance of revolution that clearly overhauled society (technology, production, urbanization). Thus the statement supports that revolution can overhaul society.

Verification / Alternative check:Test necessity: remove II and the claim "brought about the modern age" loses its interpretive force. Remove I and nothing changes, confirming I is not entailed.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• I only / Both / Either: all rely on a cause-of-revolution claim that is absent.
• Neither: ignores the explicit transformative link in the premise.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing "why revolutions occur" with "what revolutions do." The statement only gives the latter.

Final Answer:Only conclusion II follows
