Given below is a statement followed by two courses of actions, numbered I and II. You must assume everything in the statement to be true, and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: School X has received a notice from the Commissioner of Police on the many complaints that have been received regarding the traffic jam caused outside the school gates every morning between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. due to illegal parking of cars. Courses of Action: (I) School X should deploy security personnel to monitor the illegal car parking outside school gates and clear any jams being caused. (II) School X should ban parents from dropping their children by car to the school.
Both I and II follow
Only I follows
Neither I nor II follows
Only II follows
Only I follows
In 'Course of Action' questions, identify the immediate, practical remedy that addresses the root cause without resorting to extreme or impractical bans.
In 'Course of Action' questions, identify the immediate, practical remedy that addresses the root cause without resorting to extreme or impractical bans.
Analyze the problem
The issue is traffic congestion caused by illegal parking outside the school gate. The goal is to resolve the congestion.
Evaluate Course of Action I
Deploying security to monitor parking and clear jams directly addresses the problem stated (illegal parking). This is a logical, practical step to manage traffic flow.
Evaluate Course of Action II
Banning parents from using cars entirely is an extreme, impractical, and disproportionate solution that does not directly manage the existing congestion problem efficiently. Thus, it does not logically follow.
A: Suggests both follow, but banning cars is too extreme. C: Claims neither follows, but I is a valid and helpful measure. D: Claims only II follows, which is illogical because banning cars is a drastic overreaction to a management issue.
B is correct because deploying security personnel (Action I) directly addresses the root cause of illegal parking and traffic jams, whereas banning cars (Action II) is an extreme and impractical measure that does not follow logically as an immediate course of action.
For 'Course of Action' questions, always look for the option that is 'suggestive' and 'remedial' rather than 'restrictive' or 'punitive', as these are most likely to be the correct logical administrative steps.
