Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statements : It is almost impossible to survive and prosper in this world without sacrificing ethics and morality. Conclusions : I. World appreciates some concepts but may not uphold it. II. Concept of ethics and morality are not practicable in life.

The correct answer is: Only conclusion I follows.

The statement “It is almost impossible to survive and prosper in this world without sacrificing ethics and morality” means that in order to succeed in life, one may have to do things that are unethical or immoral. This does not mean that the world does not appreciate ethics and morality, but it does mean that they are not always the most practical way to achieve success.

Conclusion I is a logical consequence of the statement. If it is almost impossible to survive and prosper in this world without sacrificing ethics and morality, then it follows that the world appreciates some concepts but may not uphold them.

Conclusion II is not a logical consequence of the statement. The statement does not say that the concept of ethics and morality are not practicable in life. It only says that it is almost impossible to survive and prosper in this world without sacrificing them.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Only conclusion I follows.
