Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
The first statement says “It can feel like a treadmill that gets you nowhere”. This is an opinion and hence the statement is a judgement.
Statement 2 is also a personal opinion and hence a judgement.
Similarly, statements 3 and 4 are also opinions and hence can be categorised as judgements.
2) Answer (C)
Statement 1 is an inference, because it is drawing a conclusion (Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has managed to keep pace with its ambitious goals) based on a fact (all statistical indications).
Statement 2 is a judgement since “the vital link between healthy bodies and healthy minds” is not something that can be investigated for data.
Statement 3 is clearly a fact.
Statement 4 is an opinion, and hence it is a judgement.
3) Answer (A)
The first statement is an opinion since it says “Given the poor quality…” and “…should be switching”.
The second statement is clearly a fact.
The fourth statement is a judgement since the words “…ironic it is…” indicate the opinion of the author and not something that can be verified by facts.
The answer is option A.
