Question

If parents stop smoking when their children are young, then the children are less likely to give up smoking.

Options:

A . If the inference is definitely true

B . If the inference is probably true

C . If the data are inadequate

D . If the inference is probably false

E . If the inference is definitely false

Answer: Option D

The passage talks only about the chances of starting smoking being proportional to the fact that parents smoke. One can't say with conviction whether a similar relationship holds good in the case of giving up smoking. But a general idea of the passage suggests that such a relationship should hold good.
