Question

Answer

Statement:
India is becoming industrialized.
Pollution is a problem associated with industrialization.

Inferences:
I. All industrial centers are polluted.
II. India is polluted.
III. Polluted nations are industrialized.
IV. India may become polluted.

Explanation:

Only IV is appropriate:
The given statements state that India is becoming industrialized and pollution is a problem associated with industrialization. Based on this information, we can infer that India may become polluted in the future. It is not a definitive statement, but a possibility that can be inferred from the given statements. Therefore, only inference IV is appropriate.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

All are appropriate:
Inference I states that all industrial centers are polluted. This is an overgeneralization as it assumes that every single industrial center in the world is polluted. The given statements do not provide enough information to support this inference. Hence, inference I is not appropriate.

None is appropriate:
As explained above, inference IV (India may become polluted) can be appropriately inferred from the given statements. Therefore, this option is not correct.

Only II is appropriate:
Inference II states that India is polluted. However, the given statements only mention that pollution is a problem associated with industrialization. It does not explicitly state that India is already polluted. Hence, inference II cannot be directly inferred from the given statements. Therefore, this option is not appropriate.

Only III is appropriate:
Inference III states that polluted nations are industrialized. This is a generalization that assumes every polluted nation is industrialized. However, the given statements do not provide enough information to support this inference. It is possible for a nation to be polluted without being industrialized. Therefore, inference III is not appropriate.
