Question

Read the following passages and answer the items that follow the passages. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are generally, easily influenced by the opinions of others. They permit the newspapers and the gossiping neighbours to do their thinking for them. Opinions are the cheapest commodities on the earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon by anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by opinions when you reach decisions, you will not succeed in any undertaking.

Which one of the following is implied by the passage?

Accepted Answer

The passage begins, "The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs..." This opening statement directly implies that such people exist.

Option A is incorrect because the passage states "the majority of people who fail..." not "the majority of people" in general. It describes a characteristic of those who fail, not the prevalence of failure among all people.
Option B is incorrect as it contradicts the premise of the passage, which discusses people who *do* fail.
Option C is correct because the phrase "people who fail to accumulate money" inherently means that there are indeed people who experience this failure.
Option D is incorrect as the passage discusses accumulating "money sufficient for their needs," implying that there is a need for money.
