Q1:

Statements: The serious accident in which a person was run down by a car yesterday had again focused attention on the most unsatisfactory state of roads. Conclusions:

  2. Several accidents have so far taken place because of unsatisfactory state of roads.

A Only conclusion I follows

B Only conclusion II follows

C Either I or II follows

D Neither I nor II follows
