A statement is givenfollowed by three inferences numberedI, II, and III. Consider the statement tobe true even if it is at variance withcommonly known facts. You have todecide which of the inferences, if any,follow from the given statement. Statement: Donald Trump began theweek facing accusations of treason overhis embrace of Vladimir Putin and endedit with a middle finger to his many criticsby inviting the Russian autocrat to theWhite House. Inferences: I. America and Russia are not allies.<br />II. No prior American President has ever<br />embraced a Russian counterpart.<br />III. Russian President, Vladimir Putin,<br />has been a long-time US enemy.

Correct Answer: Only III can be inferred

Only III can be inferred. We can only deduce from the given statement that Putin and America have not been on good terms because President Trump was accused of treason simply because he embraced his Russian counterpart. We cannot draw any general conclusions about the relationship between both the countries. Also, we cannot infer anything about the prior presidents of America from what is given. Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
