Solution

The correct answer is "If only II follows".

Here's why:

I. The opposition party should withdraw from the election. - This inference is not correct. Just because the ruling party is likely to win according to polls, it doesn't mean the opposition should withdraw. Elections are about giving people choices and the opposition party represents an alternative choice.

II. The ruling party is the most popular choice among voters. - This inference is correct. The statement says that the ruling party is likely to win by a large margin, which suggests that they are the most popular choice among voters.

III. The election results have already been decided. - This inference is not correct. The statement only suggests a likelihood of the ruling party winning, not that the results have been decided. Polls are predictions, not final results.

So, only inference II follows the statement correctly.

This problem has been solved
