This year's session of the UN General Assembly, the first one to be addressed by US President Donald Trump, served to highlight the inability of the world to tackle a problem like North Korea. The US president threatened to destroy the nation of 25 million people, if the US and its allies are threatened or attacked. If this raised eyebrows rather than curdled blood, a further threat to undo the Iran nuclear deal served to reinforce scepticism about the value of any American promise or assurance.

(I) If North Korea tried to terrify the US it would not hesitate to take very tough action against it.

(II) The US would not hesitate to indulge in bloodshed against Iran.

(III) Iran has threatened North Korea against its nuclear attack.

A)  Only (I)              

B)  Only (II)

C)  Both (I) and (II)        

D)  None of (I), (II) and (III)

E)  Only (III)
