E600 seconds Directions (Q120–Q124) : What this set asks for is the drawing of an inference from propositions worded as the inspection notes upon immovable property mortgaged to a bank are ordinarily worded. Each question sets down two statements and, below them, two conclusions numbered I and II. Treat both statements as true however far they may stand from what is commonly known to be the case, and then say which of the two conclusions, if either of them at all, is warranted by the two statements read together. Mark your answer accordingly.
