Statement: Many senior citizens find it hard to claim their pensions because the payout venue is far. Courses of action: I. The pension program should be stopped. II. Payouts should be held in barangay halls, and pensions delivered to homebound seniors. Which course(s) of action logically follow?

  1. Only I follows.
  2. Only II follows.
  3. Both I and II follow.
  4. Neither I nor II follows.

Answer

B. Only II follows.

Solution

The answer is: Only II follows. II brings the service closer to the seniors. I punishes the very people the program serves. A course of action follows if it is practical and addresses the problem without being extreme.
