Statement : Every year, at the beginning or at the end of the monsoons, we have some cases of conjunctivitis, but this year, it seems to be a major epidemic, witnessed after nearly four years. Courses of Action : I. Precautionary measures should be taken after every four years to check this epidemic. II. People should be advised to drink boiled water during rainy season.

Only I follows
Only II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows E. Both I and II follow

The correct answer is: Both I and II follow.

The statement says that every year, at the beginning or at the end of the monsoons, there are some cases of conjunctivitis. However, this year, it seems to be a major epidemic, witnessed after nearly four years.

The first course of action, “Precautionary measures should be taken after every four years to check this epidemic,” is a logical follow-up to the statement. If conjunctivitis is a recurring problem, then it makes sense to take steps to prevent it from becoming an epidemic.

The second course of action, “People should be advised to drink boiled water during rainy season,” is also a logical follow-up to the statement. Conjunctivitis is a contagious disease that can be spread through contact with contaminated water. By advising people to drink boiled water, we can help to reduce the risk of people getting sick.

Therefore, both I and II follow.
