Consider the following: 1) In ancient times, civilizations recorded their religious and cultural ideas and lifetime records in clay. 2) Both famous and common people were honored in clay. 3) In fact, most of what we know of ancient civilizations comes from studying the clay pottery. 4) All of the pots and bowls were made of clay. Assuming the preceding statements are true, statements two, three, and four:

A. The man complains frequently and counseling is recommended: This option implies that the man’s symptoms may be psychological, but it does not provide the best explanation for the situation. Even though his test results are normal, there could still be an underlying physical issue or condition that has not yet been identified. Counseling might be helpful, but it's not the best explanation based on the information given.

B. Even though the tests are normal, continual monitoring is needed: This is the most appropriate answer. Normal test results mean no immediate, obvious cause has been found for the symptoms. However, symptoms like headaches and visual disturbances could be early indicators of a condition that has not yet been detected, so continued monitoring might be necessary to track any changes over time.

C. The signs and symptoms reported by the man are not real: This option is dismissive and not a reasonable conclusion. Just because the tests are normal doesn’t mean the symptoms aren’t real. The man’s experience of headaches and visual disturbances is valid, even if a physical cause hasn't been found yet.

D. The man has many physical problems that cannot be explained: While this might be a possibility, it’s a broader and less specific explanation. The fact that tests are normal means there isn’t currently evidence of a serious physical issue that is identifiable. It's more reasonable to focus on monitoring and further investigation if needed.

A. The conclusion is not a statement of fact, but rather a generalization based on a study of a specific group of people. The fact that 70% of heroin users had used marijuana before does not automatically lead to the conclusion that all marijuana users will try heroin.

B. The conclusion makes an unwarranted leap by suggesting that because 70% of heroin users had used marijuana, all marijuana users will eventually try heroin. The sample studied doesn't represent all marijuana users, and making this broad statement about all marijuana users is an overgeneralization.

C. While the conclusion may be an assumption, it's more specific in that it makes a sweeping, unjustified generalization. The issue is not clarity, but the improper inference drawn from the data.

D. The conclusion actually needs much more support and is not logically valid as it stands. It makes a broad statement that is not directly supported by the data.
