Q.6 Humans are naturally compassionate and honest. In a study using strategically
placed wallets that appear “lost”, it was found that wallets with money are more
likely to be returned than wallets without money. Similarly, wallets that had a key
and money are more likely to be returned than wallets with the same amount of
money alone. This suggests that the primary reason for this behavior is
compassion and empathy.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the
information in the above passage?
(A) Wallets with a key are more likely to be returned because people do not care
about money
(B) Wallets with a key are more likely to be returned because people relate to
suffering of others
(C) Wallets used in experiments are more likely to be returned than wallets that are
really lost
