    Question

    Select the conclusion(s) that follow(s) based on the correct meaning of the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    Sentence: There might be some issues to be sorted out, but it does not mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    Conclusion:
    i. For the sake of opposition, we should not reject a proposal outright because of our concerns over a few specifics.
    ii. The bathwater should be clean, otherwise the baby will be sick.
    iii. When a theory or an approach goes out of favour, we shift our loyalty completely towards the more fashionable one ignoring even the good aspects of the former.

    A.

    Only conclusion ii

    B.

    Only conclusion i and iii

    C.

    Only Conclusion iii

    D.

    Only conclusion i

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) is correct.
    Idiom Meaning: Throw the baby out with the bathwater means to discard something valuable while disposing of unnecessary elements. (कुछ बुरे के साथ अच्छा भी त्याग देना)
    Explanation:
    · Conclusion i is valid — It implies not discarding a good idea due to minor flaws.
    · Conclusion iii reflects how people abandon a theory completely, overlooking its merits — this is analogous to the idiom’s meaning.
    · Conclusion ii is incorrect — it misinterprets the idiom literally, not metaphorically.
