In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Students are found spending too much time on video games. Course of Action I: Ban mobile games. Course of Action II: Encourage students to engage in outdoor activities.
Only II follows
In a course-of-action question a suggested step is accepted only if it is practical, measured rather than extreme, and directly aimed at the problem described in the statement.
The stated problem is that students are spending too much time on video games, so any workable action should meaningfully reduce that time.
Course of Action I proposes banning mobile games outright; a blanket ban is an extreme reaction that tries to abolish the activity rather than manage the habit behind it.
Such a ban is also very hard to enforce, since schools rarely control the personal devices students use at home, so it addresses the symptom without changing behaviour.
Course of Action II encourages students to take up outdoor activities, offering an attractive and healthy alternative that naturally competes for the time now spent on games.
This redirection is realistic, constructive, and within an institution's power to promote, so the second course genuinely follows.
Comparing the two, only the positive alternative meets the tests of practicality and constructiveness, while the prohibition fails them.
The principle is that valid follow-up actions are practical and constructive rather than sweeping bans, so the answer is Only II follows.
