Q: Answer- In the question given below, a premise is given followed by three statements which may or may not b...

Both 2 and 3 are inferences that can be derived from the passage. The premise tells us that babies watch facial expressions to assess how decisions are made. 2 follows. The premise stresses on the youngest age at which babies can assess how people make decisions, by using the determiner JUST for emphasis. So, this means that babies younger than 10 months do not have this ability. Thus, d is the right answer. 1 is incorrect as it is too subjective and more of a judgement since stupidity is not quantifiable.

followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. A study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, U.S., has shown that babies just 10 months old can assess how people make decisions. They watch the facial expressions and see how hard a person is trying to get something and analyse its worth. 1. Babies are not as stupid as one might believe. 2. Facial expressions can be indicative of how a decision is made. 3. Babies younger than 10 months cannot assess how people make decisions.
