Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

There are people who fail, to accumulate money for their needs.

Solution :

The correct option is "There are people who fail, to accumulate money for their needs."

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the passage:
The passage starts with the statement: "The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are generally, easily influenced by the opinions of others."

2. Identify what is logically implied:
By discussing "The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs", the author directly establishes that such a group of people exists. In other words, for there to be a "majority of people who fail to accumulate money," there must first be people who fail to do so. Therefore, the existence of people who fail to accumulate money for their needs is a direct and necessary logical prerequisite (or implication) of the passage's opening sentence.

3. Evaluate the options:
- "Most of the people do not accumulate money for their needs.": The passage mentions the majority of "people who fail...", not the majority of "all people". This is a generalization not supported by the text.
- "Most of the people never fail to accumulate money for their needs.": The text does not provide any statistics or assertions about the overall general population's success rate.
- "There are people who fail, to accumulate money for their needs.": This is directly implied because the passage explicitly describes and analyzes the behavior of this specific group of people.
- "There is no need to accumulate money.": This contradicts the premise of the passage, which discusses accumulating money "sufficient for their needs," implying that such a need does exist.
