Logical Reasoning Question 8
Question; Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
An attribution is an unplanned explanation for a behavior or an event. An example to explain attribution can be taken as; a nurse spots a co-worker executing a process wrongly on a patient. So, the nurse is most likely to try to develop an attribution explanation for this behavior. This could result to the co-worker being poorly trained which means that the observer is attributing the behavior to insufficient skills. Research shows that implementation of unplanned attributions is important for the adaptation of the changing environments and to overcome the encounters we are challenged within our everyday lives. What is the impact of a planned attribution? It creates a sense of clarity regarding behaviors It is not helpful for adaptation to changes 3. A planned attribution becomes a set of guidelines

Answer:
Correct Answer; C
Solution:
- (c) Reasoning Type; Inductive Reasoning $\to $ starting from specifics and deriving a general rule Focus of the question; Reverse inference $\to $ finding the correct inference by reversing the idea or concept of the given premise Relationship analogy; Object and Function Analogy $\to $ where one factor is object and another one is the related function The question focuses on the right inference that reverses the basic idea or concept in relatively different situations. Here, the attribution is reversed with the concept PLANNED. So, the students should think a different condition based on the idea discussed on the passage.
