Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


Solution : Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All should be honest.
The statement states that Honesty is the best policy so everyone should be honest. Honest people are loved by everyone and honesty helps to earn respect. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: Only some people should be honest.
The statement states that Honesty is the best policy. So, everyone should be honest. Therefore, not only some people but all people should be honest. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, the correct answer is only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
