Read the given statement and conclusions carefully and decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement.
Statement:
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Conclusions:
L. The missing of a thing or a person increases the longing for it.
M. A healthy distance should be maintained to keep the relationship strong.

Correct option is B

Statement: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
Conclusions:
Conclusion L: "The missing of a thing or a person increases the longing for it."
· This directly aligns with the meaning of the statement, which implies that when something or someone is absent, it increases our fondness or longing. Therefore, Conclusion L logically follows.
Conclusion M: "A healthy distance should be maintained to keep the relationship strong."
· While this may be a possible interpretation, the statement does not imply that distance should be intentionally maintained; it only suggests that absence can increase fondness. Therefore, Conclusion M does not necessarily follow from the statement.
Correct Answer: (b) Only conclusion L follows.
