CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. I follows: Farhan scored 85, which is above 80, and every such student gets a reward card.

  2. II does not follow: the rule says a score above 80 brings a card, not that a card comes only from a score above 80. Tanvi may have got hers for some other reason, such as full attendance.

  3. So only I follows.

Worth noting

"Every A gets B" does not mean "everyone with B had A". Running a rule backwards is the classic trap in this chapter.
