Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows
I. The government will ban all vehicles that run on fossil fuel immediately.
The sentence talks about the aim to reduce carbon emissions by 50% in this decade. It has not mentioned any banning of vehicles that run on fossils. So, the conclusion I do not follow.
II. The government will shut down all the coal-fired power plants.
The sentence talks about the aim to reduce carbon emissions by 50% in this decade. Nothing can be said about shutting the coal-fired power plants. So, the conclusion II also does not follow.
