If, then, there is no significant evidence that Friday the 13th is any more dangerous than any other day of the year, why do friggatriskaidekaphobics remain convinced of its unluckiness? While the historical or folk traditions discussed earlier may have something to do with this belief, people may also use associational links to justify their superstitions. If a friggatriskaidekaphobic loses his wallet on Tuesday the 21st, for example, he would probably not assign any meaning to the date on which this event occurred. If the same individual lost his wallet on Friday the 13th, however, he might be likely to conclude that the inauspicious nature of Friday the 13th was at fault.”
Based on information in the passage, it can be inferred that an earlier section of this passage likely
• I. featured a personal anecdote about why the author no longer believes that Friday the 13th is unlucky
• II. provided some explanations about why people might fear Friday the 13th
• III. introduced the term “friggatriskaidekaphobia”
