In this question, a statement is 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 course of action/s logically follow for pursuing.
Statement: In City X, the number of car accidents has spiked recently due to poor road conditions and lack of adequate signage.
Courses of Action:
I. The city should launch an awareness campaign to educate drivers on safe driving practices.
II. Immediate road repair and installation of proper signage should be carried out.
Only I follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow
Only II follows
Only II follows
Identify the root causes (poor roads, lack of signs) and select the action that directly mitigates those specific issues, while awareness programs can serve as complementary support.
Identify the root causes (poor roads, lack of signs) and select the action that directly mitigates those specific issues, while awareness programs can serve as complementary support.
Analyze the Cause
The statement identifies two specific, physical causes for the spike in accidents: 'poor road conditions' and 'lack of adequate signage'.
Evaluate Course of Action I
Launching an awareness campaign (I) is a helpful long-term measure for general safety, and it is a logical response to reduce accidents caused by human error.
Evaluate Course of Action II
Immediate road repairs and installing proper signage (II) directly address the specific problems cited in the statement (poor roads and lack of signage), making it an essential and logical intervention.
Determine Conclusion
Since both actions address the underlying problems (one by improving infrastructure and the other by enhancing driver awareness), both courses of action logically follow.
A: Only I follows is incorrect because both actions are necessary and logical. B: Neither I nor II follows is incorrect because both are valid, practical steps. C: Only II follows is incorrect because it ignores the utility of driver education in accident prevention.
D is correct because both actions are directly relevant to solving the stated problems: infrastructure repair fixes the road, and an awareness campaign helps mitigate human-factor-related accidents.
In 'Course of Action' questions, always look for solutions that directly address the specific root causes mentioned in the statement. If multiple actions are feasible and directly related to the cause, both usually follow.
