Correct Answer: if neither I nor II follows
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The statement is about perceptions formed from media portrayals—not about authentic culture nor about Pakistan’s own cultural dynamics. We must avoid over-generalizing.
Concept / Approach:I claims media “largely depict” national culture; the premise mentions portrayals that created a belief, not that media are faithful mirrors of reality. II asserts something about Pakistani women’s lack of Western influence; the premise is silent about Pakistan’s internal culture. Therefore neither follows.
Final Answer:Neither I nor II follows.
