Statement: Due to intense fog, more than 50 flights were delayed or cancelled in the capital city.
Inferences:
1. Weather conditions affect air travel operations.
2. The city lacks proper runway lighting systems.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: (A) Only Inference I follows
Analysis of Inferences:
• Inference 1: Follows. The statement directly states that intense fog (a weather condition) caused flight delays and cancellations, clearly implying that weather conditions impact air travel operations.
• Inference 2: Does not follow. The statement provides no information about the airport's infrastructure or runway lighting systems. Making an assumption about inadequate lighting is unwarranted.
Therefore, only Inference I logically follows from the given statement.
