According to the statement, the word compulsory is used.

So conclusion, 1 follows And conclusion 2 also follows. So, the answer is option E.

Agree @Ankita.
Ankita said:   2 years ago
I think the answer should be D.

Generation interest by reading 2 books a week which is made compulsory will not make them like reading. And ofcourse I is out of question. So, it should be D.

Here mentioned the term "compulsory" means some may not like reading books eventually it is kind of force so option E may be correct.
Kamali said:   3 years ago

"Some students will eventually develop an interest in reading", it is a response by students. The above can be assumed but cannot be concluded. i.e, on an assumption that the students will develop an interest in reading, the school has enforced reading two books per week.

I think the Answer should be E because of the word compulsory.

The intention might be to generate interest. But the result of the exercise is unknown. We cannot deduce that interest has been generated in all or some students by this method. It is also possible that the interest is not generated. So D is the answer.

You have to take the statement given as completely true and it says that it is compulsory for them to read 2 books in a week and that is done to cultivate interest in reading compulsory itself makes it a forceful mean. And if the statement is true then it implies that interest in reading can be cultivated by force.

Reading the compulsory is also mean the force the students into reading. So E must be answer.
