Directions: Read the passage and answer the following question.

Passage – V
Once while traveling by the local bus, I got a seat beside a very strange man. He seemed interested in every passenger aboard. He would stare at a person, scribble some odd mathematical notations on his long notebook and then move on to the next. Being quite interested in what he was doing, I asked him what all those notations meant and then came the startling reply. He saw a man’s face not as a single unit but as thousands of squares put together. He was in fact a statistical expert and a budding artist learning the art of graphics.

  1. a statistical expert cannot be a budding scientist

  2. a budding artist cannot be a statistical expert
