Read the following statement carefully and identify the conclusion that follows. Statement: The library will remain closed on Sunday due to renovation. I. The renovation is planned for Sunday. II. People cannot use the library this Sunday.

Correct — C.
Rule: a conclusion follows only if the statement makes it definitely true.

I: the Sunday closure is due to renovation, so renovation work is planned for that Sunday. Follows.
II: the library will be closed on Sunday, so people cannot use it this Sunday. Follows.

Both I and II follow → option (c).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Only Conclusion I follows — Only I drops II, the plainest reading of the statement: a library that is closed on Sunday cannot be used that Sunday.
• (b)
  Only Conclusion II follows — Only II drops I. The statement gives renovation as the reason for closing on Sunday, which places the renovation work on that day.
• (d)
  Neither I nor II follows — Neither ignores both links. Closed means not usable, and the stated reason for the Sunday closure is the renovation.

In statement-conclusion items a conclusion follows when the statement guarantees it, not when it merely seems likely. Read what the statement says and what it directly implies.

Here one sentence carries two facts. The library is closed on Sunday, which gives II. The closure is due to renovation, which ties the renovation to Sunday and gives I.

Key facts

• A conclusion must be definitely true from the statement, not just probable.
• Closed on a day means the place cannot be used that day.
• A stated reason, such as due to renovation, is part of what the statement asserts.

Common traps

• Rejecting I because the statement does not say the renovation happens only on Sunday
• Rejecting II as too obvious to count as a conclusion
