Q1:

Statements: Jade plant has thick leaves and it requires little water. Conclusions:
  1. All plants with thick leaves require little water.
  2. Jade plants may be grown in places where water is not in abundance.

B Only conclusion II follows

C Either I or II follows

D Neither I nor II follows

E Both I and II follow
