Mutually Exclusive Plan Logic
The sentence describes a situation where choosing one plan affects the ability to choose the other. The key phrase is "mutually __________".
The term "mutually exclusive" means that two options cannot be chosen simultaneously. If two plans, P and Q, are mutually exclusive, selecting plan P automatically excludes the possibility of selecting plan Q, and vice versa.
Option 1 provides the words "forgo" and "exclusive".
- First blank: "forgo" means to give up or decide not to do or have something. If you choose plan P, you must forgo plan Q.
- Second blank: "exclusive" correctly describes the relationship where choosing one prevents choosing the other.
Therefore, the sentence reads: "If you choose plan P, you will have to forgo plan Q, as these two are mutually exclusive." This statement is logically sound.
Evaluating Other Options
- Option 2 ("forget, inclusive"): "Inclusive" suggests both could potentially be chosen or are part of a larger whole, contradicting the implication of needing to give one up.
- Option 3 ("accept, exhaustive"): "Accept" implies taking the plan, and "exhaustive" means thorough, neither fitting the relationship described.
- Option 4 ("adopt, intrusive"): "Adopt" means to take up or start to use, and "intrusive" means causing disruption. These meanings do not logically fit the sentence structure or the concept of mutually exclusive choices.
