Statement: Most of those who study in premier engineering colleges in China migrate to developed nations for better prospects in their professional pursuits.

 

Courses of Action:

 

1. All the students joining these colleges should be asked to sign a bond at the time of admission to the effect that they will remain in China at least for ten years after they complete education.

2. All those students who desire to settle in the developed nations should be asked to pay entire cost of their education which the government subsidises.
A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
E. Both I and II follow
Answer and Explanation

A. Only I follows
B. Only II follows
C. Either I or II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
E. Both I and II follow
Answer and Explanation
