Statement : It is feared that the food which the delegates have just consumed could be poisonous.
Courses of action : I. The delegates should be given treatment for food-poisoning.
II. The delegates should be rushed to a hospital.
III. Medical help should immediately be sought.

Options

A. I and III follow
B. II and III follow
C. Only I follows
D. Either II or III follows

Answer

D

Explanation

I is misleading. If you have chosen I as your answer check your English and not Reasoning. Food-poisoning actually refers to a state of stomach disorder which starts with digestive failur. It does not mean poisoning of food in the literal sense. Because of this (literal) reason, I does not follow. Now, if delegates are feared to have consumed poison, they must be given medical attention immediately. Either II or III fulfils this purpose.
