Question 68

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’).

Inferences,which are conclusions drawn about the unknown, on the basis of the known (the answer option indicates such a statement with an `I’).

Judgements which are opinions that 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)

Select the answer option that best describes the set of four statements.

1.According to all statistical indications, the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan has managed to keep pace with its ambitious goals.

2.The Mid-day Meal Scheme has been a significant incentive for the poor to send their little ones to school, thus establishing the vital link between healthy bodies and healthy minds.

3.Only about 13 million children in the age group of 6 to 14 years are out of school.

4.The goal of universalisation of elementary education has to be a pre-requisite for the evolution and development of our country.

Solution

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.
