Let's analyze each question one by one to determine the correct answers. --- ### **Question 76** **Statement:** An advertisement of a dog food brand says, "This food contains all the nutrition your dog will ever need". **Conclusions:** 1. Dogs cannot survive without this dog food. 2. This dog food is the only one in the market which contains all the nutrition the dogs need. **Analysis:** - **Conclusion I:** The advertisement claims that the food has all necessary nutrition, but it doesn't imply that dogs cannot survive without it. Other foods might also meet their nutritional needs. - **Conclusion II:** The advertisement doesn't state that this is the *only* brand with complete nutrition, just that *this* brand meets the requirement. **Answer:** **(3) if neither conclusion I nor II follows** --- ### **Question 77** **Statement:** After seeing a rising trend in early part of the month, the prices of precious metals remained largely range-bound during the rest of October. **Conclusions:** 1. The prices of precious metals usually see a stability after an initial upward move. 2. Prices of precious metals are not dependent on the demand for the metals. **Analysis:** - **Conclusion I:** The statement refers to a specific instance in October and does not provide information about usual trends. - **Conclusion II:** The statement doesn't discuss the factors affecting precious metal prices, such as demand. **Answer:** **(3) if neither conclusion I nor II follows** --- ### **Question 78** **Assertion (A):** A large scale stubble burning in the neighbouring states is causing high levels of pollution in Delhi and NCR. **Reason (R):** Plume forms part of 70% of pollutants in the air in Delhi which is released as a result of burning of organic material. **Analysis:** - Both the assertion and reason are true. - The reason directly explains how stubble burning contributes significantly to the pollution levels. **Answer:** **(1) if both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).** --- ### **Question 79** **Assertion (A):** The Indian government has withdrawn its membership from the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) agreement. **Reason (R):** RCEP does not include all the members of the G20 grouping. **Analysis:** - Both the assertion and reason are true. - However, India's withdrawal was primarily due to concerns over domestic industry impacts and trade imbalances, not specifically because RCEP doesn't include all G20 members. **Answer:** **(2) if both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).** --- ### **Questions 80-81** It appears that the details for Questions 80 and 81 are missing from your query. If you provide the statements for these questions, I'd be happy to help analyze and determine the correct answers. --- **Summary of Answers:** - **Question 76:** (3) - **Question 77:** (3) - **Question 78:** (1) - **Question 79:** (2)
