Assertion:

If a cat crosses one's path, it is a bad omen.

RI. It is believed that cat brings bad luck.

RII. Many people had accidents after a cat crossed their path.

  • A.Only RI and not RII is the reason for the assertion.
  • B.only RII and not RI is the reason for the assertion.
  • C.either RI or RII, but not both, is the reason for the assertion.
  • D.neither RI nor RII is the reason for the assertion.

Answer: B

RI is not valid, as it talks about the cat itself and the assertion is about a cat crossing someone's path. RII can be a valid reason. As the assertion in more of a superstition, which in all probability is based on some collection of bad events in the same regard, hence only II is the reason.
