Q:
Read the following statements and answer the question given below.
U.S. fraternity and sorority members who drink heavily while in school don’t tend to drink after graduation, according to a recent study in Psychology of Addictive Behaviours.
Which of the following would be a logical extension of the above passage?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) Drinking begins as a group activity and as students leave these groups, the habit of drinking is also left behind.
Explanation: The passage only provides the information that students drink in school but seem to stop binging after they graduate. Option [A] is incorrect as there is no mention in the passage that students
are only males and that they graduate at thirty. Options [B] and [D] are incorrect because it is not mentioned so in the passage. Since the passage talks about student groups - 'fraternity and sorority members' - a logical extension would be that it is these groups that prod students to begin drinking and with the breaking of these groups, the habit is also broken. Hence, [C].
