Directions: In the following items a pair of statements (S1, S2) is given. Select the most appropriate and relevant co-relationship of the second statement to the first from among the options (a), (b), (c) and (d), and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
S1. The final outcome can never be predicted incontrovertibly.
S2. All outcomes are based on variables that cannot always be fully understood.
The second statement:
- Afully reinforces the first
- Breinforces the first to an extent
- Cdefinitely follows the first
- Ddefinitely does not follow the first
Explanation
S2 explains why outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty — they rest on variables that cannot always be fully understood — which is exactly the reason behind S1's claim. It does not merely partially reinforce or follow S1; it supplies the complete rationale for it. 'Fully reinforces the first' is the exact relationship.
