Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From statement 1, we know that children are illogical. 
From statement 3, we know that illogical persons are despised. 
From statement 2, we know that nobody who can manage a sport car is despised. 
Therefore, if children were able to manage a sport car (choice A or B), they would be despised because they are illogical (statement 1). But this contradicts statement 2. 
Therefore, the only valid conclusion is that children can't manage sport cars (choice C).
