The emotional impact of separation on unmarried “committed” couples is just as great as the emotional impact of divorce on married couples; in both situations, the loss of a trusted companion deals an emotional blow of great magnitude. Yet statistics show that a person who has separated from his or her partner in even a long-term non-marital relationship is very likely to enter into another such relationship.

Which one of the following statements represents the most logical inference that can be drawn from the statements above?

A) People do not base decisions about relationships solely on the threat of their negative emotional impact.
B) People are not likely to enter into serious relationships if they have failed at them in the past.
C) People are more affected by a divorce from a spouse than they are by the loss of a friend.
D) People often expect that a breakup from a non-spousal partner will merely be temporary.
E) People treat their romantic involvements and their friendships quite differently.

Option A:- correct
This statement is logically intact with the premise in the question. Conclusively, the question shows the statistics of the possibility of separated people entering into another such relationship. Hence the statement gives a complete justification of the question.

Option B:- Incorrect
The statement here is untrue when compared with the conclusion of the likely possibility of separated people entering into another such relationship.

Option C:- Incorrect
This statement is not convincing enough to justify the question as we can infer; both measures are equal: this means that the emotional stress experienced is the same in the case of loss of a friend and divorced spouse.

Option D:- Incorrect
This option is not true according to the conclusion made from the question.

Option E:- Incorrect
This option may be true for any ordinary situation, but the emotional impact of losing a romantic partner is ranked equally with loss of friendship as specified in the question above-
