Conclusions: 
I. Some shops have either signboards.
II. Some shops have no signboards.
III. Some shops have no neon lights.
IV. Some shops have both signboards and neon lights.

• A. IV alone
• B. I alone
• C. II and III
• D. III and IV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine which conclusions logically follow the statement, let's analyze the given information:

Statement: Few shops on this road have neon lights, but they all have signboards.

Analysis:

• The word "few" implies that there are some shops with neon lights, but not all.
• The statement "they all have signboards" indicates every shop has a signboard.

Conclusions Review:

1. Some shops have either signboards.
   This conclusion is incorrect as the statement specifies all shops have signboards, not just some.
2. Some shops have no signboards.
   This conclusion is incorrect because the statement clearly mentions that all shops have signboards.
3. Some shops have no neon lights.
   This conclusion logically follows from the statement because only a few have neon lights, meaning some do not.
4. Some shops have both signboards and neon lights.
   This conclusion is correct because if a few shops have neon lights and all have signboards, those with neon lights will also have signboards.

Therefore, the conclusions that logically follow are III and IV.
