Question

X is an online media provider. By offering unlimited and exclusive online content at attractive prices for a loyalty membership, X is almost forcing its customers towards its loyalty membership. If its loyalty membership continues to grow at its current rate, within the next eight years more households will be watching X than cable television.Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the above paragraph?

The correct answer is
Most households that subscribe to X's loyalty membership discontinue watching cable television

Inferring X Membership Growth Dynamics

The paragraph states that X is using attractive offers for its loyalty membership, essentially encouraging customers to join. It also projects that X's membership viewership will surpass cable television within eight years if current growth trends continue.

This projection implies a significant shift in consumer preference and viewing habits towards X's platform.

Analyzing Member Behavior

Consider the most logical consequence of this projected growth:

  • If X's membership is growing rapidly and is predicted to overtake cable TV, it suggests that customers are choosing X over traditional cable services.
  • Therefore, a strong inference is that households subscribing to X's loyalty membership are likely reducing or stopping their consumption of cable television.

Option 1 directly reflects this inferred shift in behavior, making it the most logical conclusion based on the provided text.

Option 1: Most households that subscribe to X's loyalty membership discontinue watching cable television is the most valid inference.

Important Questions from Inference

  1. Language X is in vigorous use, with literature in a standardized form being used by some, though this is not yet widespread or sustainable. Based on the EGIDS scale by Lewis and Simons 2010, what is the status of the language X?

    Based on the given passage, which of the following can be inferred?

  4. The information contained in DNA is used to synthesize proteins that are necessary for the functioning of life. DNA is composed of four nucleotides: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). The information contained in DNA can then be thought of as a sequence of these four nucleotides: A, T, C, and G. DNA has coding and non-coding regions. Coding regions—where the sequence of these nucleotides are read in groups of three to produce individual amino acids—constitute only about 2% of human DNA. For example, the triplet of nucleotides CCG codes for the amino acid glycine, while the triplet GGA codes for the amino acid proline. Multiple amino acids are then assembled to form a protein. 
    Based only on the information provided above, which of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty? 
    (i) The majority of human DNA has no role in the synthesis of proteins. 
    (ii) The function of about 98% of human DNA is not understood.

  5. The World Bank has declared that it does not plan to offer new financing to Sri Lanka, which is battling its worst economic crisis in decades, until the country has an adequate macroeconomic policy framework in place. In a statement, the World Bank said Sri Lanka needed to adopt structural reforms that focus on economic stabilisation and tackle the root causes of its crisis. The latter has starved it of foreign exchange and led to shortages of food, fuel, and medicines. The bank is repurposing resources under existing loans to help alleviate shortages of essential items such as medicine, cooking gas, fertiliser, meals for children, and cash for vulnerable households.
