Directions: A brief passage or a statement is given and a question is asked, based on the information provided in the passage/statement. Critically examine the five alternative answer options marked (1) to (5) and choose the best answer. �Anne goes out alone during day-light hours, but goes out after dark, only if both Fruity and Cherry are with her.� Which of the following conclusions can be logically inferred from the statements above?

Option (1) excludes Cherry, which is a necessary condition for Anne's going out in the dark. (2) is not necessarily true as Anne can definitely go out alone during daytime. So is true of option (3). Option (4) could be conditionally correct on the assumption that after 6 PM, it is always dark. This may or may not be correct in every case. Thus, it is not exactly justified. The language used in option (5) is very normative and means that at the bare minimum, Fruity certainly accompanies Anne if she is going out in the dark. We know for sure that Cherry must also be there with them if Anne is going out in the dark. Hence it is a partial answer. Nevertheless, it is the best of all those available to us.
