Hint:

In statement combination questions, aim for one general statement, one intermediate link, and one specific application to form a complete logical chain.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We need to choose a combination of three statements that are logically consistent and related. Let's examine option (c): ABD A: Metal is good material for desks.
B: Desks are made of metal.
D: This object is a desk.
Let’s build the logical flow: From D: This object is a desk.
From B: Desks are made of metal.
\[ \text{So, this object is made of metal.} \] From A: Metal is good material for desks — this provides reasoning and supports B.
All three statements relate to the composition and suitability of metal for desks. Hence, ABD is a logically consistent and complete set. Now check other options: (a) ADF: - A and D are fine. - But F: “This is made of metal.” does not specify what “this” is. No clear linkage. (b) BCE: - C: “This object is not a desk” contradicts B and E. Ambiguous and not logically sound. (d) BDF: - B: Desks are made of metal. - D: This object is a desk. - F: This is made of metal. It seems logical, but F is vague — what is “this”? Still, not wrong, but lacks the contextual completeness that A provides in ABD. Conclusion: ABD gives a complete logical and meaningful connection, from definition (A), through general rule (B), to instance (D).
