Based only on the conversation below, identify the logically correct inference:
“Even if I had known that you were in the hospital, I would not have gone there to see you”, Ramya told Josephine.
Answer
(B)
Explanation
Ramya’s sentence is a counterfactual: “if I had known …, I would not have …”. This form describes a situation that did not happen, so it tells us that Ramya did not, in fact, know that Josephine was in the hospital. Her point is that knowing would not have changed anything.
- A contradicts that meaning.
- C and D may or may not be true, but nothing in the sentence mentions a past friendship or the cause of the hospital stay.
Answer: B
