Question

Read the given statement and conclusions carefully and decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement.
Statement:
Increasing use of non-biodegradable plastic will pose a grave threat to plant and animal life in the long run.
Conclusions:
1: If non-biodegradable plastic is banned, humanity will not face extinction.
2: Humanity will not be impacted by extensive use of plastic.

A.

2 follows but 1 does not follow.

B.

1 and 2 follow.

C.

Neither 1 nor 2 follows.

D.

1 follows but 2 does not follow.

Correct option is C

Statement:
"Increasing use of non-biodegradable plastic will pose a grave threat to plant and animal life in the long run."
Conclusion 1:
"If non-biodegradable plastic is banned, humanity will not face extinction."
The statement only states that plastic pollution poses a grave threat to plant and animal life. It does not establish that banning plastic ensures humanity’s survival.
There could be other factors (like deforestation, climate change, diseases, wars, etc.) that may lead to extinction, even if plastic is banned.
Conclusion 1 does not follow because the statement does not directly support it.
Conclusion 2:
"Humanity will not be impacted by extensive use of plastic."
The statement clearly says that plastic poses a grave threat to plant and animal life, which indirectly affects humanity too.
Since plastic pollution can harm ecosystems, food chains, and water sources, it can impact humans.
Conclusion 2 does not follow because it contradicts the given statement.
Thus, the correct option is (c) Neither 1 nor 2 follows.
