Question 72

The following question has a set of three statements. Each statement can be classified as one of the following:-

(i) Facts, which deal with pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, and which are open to discovery or verification (the answer option indicates such a statement with an 'F').
(ii) Inferences, which are conclusions drawn about the unknown, on the basis of the known (the answer option indicates such a statement with an 'I').
(iii) Judgements, which are opinions th at imply approval or disapproval of persons, objects, situations and occurrences in the past, the present or the future (the answer option indicates such a statement with a 'J').

Identify the Fact(F), Judgement(J) and Inference(I) from the given sentences.
1. God created the earth
2. God exists
3. Wine tastes better than beer

Solution

All three statements are judgements, as they are personal opinions and not facts or conclusions based on some data.

Statement 1: Whether God created the Earth or not is not a fact as it cannot be verified. It is also not an inference as it is not based on some given data. It is an opinion and hence can be classified as a judgement.

Statement 2: This again is not a verifiable fact or an inference. It is an opinion which may vary from person to person and thus, classified as judgement.

Statement 3: This statement is clearly a personal opinion as the relative tastes of things are very subjective and depend on the person. Hence, this sentence is also classified as a judgement.

Hence, the answer is option B.
