Which one of the following is implied by the passage?
aMost of the people do not accumulate money for their needs.
bMost of the people never fail to accumulate money for their needs.
cThere are people who fail to accumulate money for their needs.
dThere is no need to accumulate money.
AnswerUPSC’s answer is (c).
The passage says that most of those who do not manage to save enough money are easily swayed by other people's views. This implies that some people do fail to accumulate enough money for their needs, since the claim is about the majority of such people. It does not say that most people fail, nor that nobody fails, nor that saving is unnecessary.
Why each option is right or wrong
(a) Wrong: the passage speaks of most of those who fail, not most of all people.
(b) Wrong: it contradicts the existence of people who fail.
(c) Correct: a group of people who fail to accumulate enough money is presupposed.
(d) Wrong: the passage takes it for granted that people have financial needs.
