(v) That does not mean you make your rivals the butt of your jokes.

Detailed Solution: Question 2

On reading the statements it`s very clear that the last statement is a counter statement to the first three  statements; hence, (D) should be assigned to the same. (a) is eliminated. First statement is obviously the conclusion; (c) is eliminated as well. Now the second and the third statements have similar purpose. Only option (b) fulfills the criterion.
