The Government has the fundamental duty to respond to people’s demand for amending deficient public service by attempting to provide necessary remedies. However such Government responses inevitably result in additional expenses. In spite of the additional pressure on finances, the Government has no other choice but to react to outbreak of epidemics, such as Dengue, in order to avoid public’s criticism.
Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. The quality of epidemic disease management will improve.
B. If the expenses for epidemics have not increased, then there has not been another outbreak of Dengue epidemic.
C. The government will resort of additional taxation to meet the increased costs of epidemic health care.
D. Only when the government fears mounted public outcry will the Government wake from slumber.
E. If government does not act on epidemic health cure, the costs will not escalate.

Official Solution:
The Government has the fundamental duty to respond to people’s demand for amending deficient public service by attempting to provide necessary remedies. However such Government responses inevitably result in additional expenses. In spite of the additional pressure on finances, the Government has no other choice but to react to outbreak of epidemics, such as Dengue, in order to avoid public’s criticism.
Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. The quality of epidemic disease management will improve.
B. If the expenses for epidemics have not increased, then there has not been another outbreak of Dengue epidemic.
C. The government will resort of additional taxation to meet the increased costs of epidemic health care.
D. Only when the government fears mounted public outcry will the Government wake from slumber.
E. If government does not act on epidemic health cure, the costs will not escalate.
A. Nothing in the text confirms an improvement - the text states that the Government responds, but whether such responses result in improvement is not mentioned.
B. CORRECT. "If A, then B" leads to the conclusion "If not B, then not A." Here:
A = Another outbreak of Dengue epidemic
B = Increase in expenses.
Let us say, X = Government responds.
From the text it can be concluded that A (outbreak of epidemic such as Dengue) leads to X (Government responds) and X (Government responds) leads to B (expenses increase).
C. The text does not mention how the Government would meet the increased costs.
D. The text does not mention whether the government responds ONLY when there is public outcry. It is implied in the passage that the Government responds to avoid public criticism, but it is not mentioned whether such circumstances are the ONLY occasions when the Government responds. The word “only” makes this option wrong.
E. The costs may increase because of other reasons - it is not mentioned in the passage that epidemic health cure is the ONLY way in which costs may increase.
