The conclusion is properly drawn if which of the following is true?
  1. Patrick did not get a loan from a bank.
  2. Patrick made a request for a loan from the bank but was turned down.
  3. Patrick’s mortgage is too expensive for his current salary.
  4. Patrick will make a request for a loan soon.
