Statement: "Mobile phones are not allowed during school exams".
Which conclusion logically follows?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The statement specifically restricts mobile phones during school examinations. Examinations require strict discipline and honesty, and mobile phones can easily be used to access unauthorized information, cheat, or communicate with others.
Therefore, the logical conclusion/rationale behind this restriction is that students may use phones for unfair practices.
Other options either make extreme generalizations (banning all year round) or irrelevant assumptions not supported by the context of an examination hall.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
