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 manhunt for the perpetrator of the crime spread across the entire state,
S2. There was deep public anger triggered by the enormity of the crime.
alters the premise of the first
The second statement "There was deep public anger triggered by the enormity of the crime" does not simply follow or provide an explanation for the first. Instead, it gives a new layer of context, which alters the premise of the first statement. The first talks about a manhunt being spread across the state, while the second brings in the emotional reaction of the public. The statement about anger "altering the premise" suggests that public anger, which is the result of the crime, adds a new dimension to the situation presented in the first statement. This is not merely a consequence or description but an additional angle that shifts the focus of the situation.
Thus, the correct answer is that the second statement "alters the premise of the first." The answer is **Option 4**.
