(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) “I don’t see Ritu. She said she was tired, so she must have gone home to bed.”
2) “Ram’s been at the gym a lot; he must be trying to lose weight.”
3) “Shera is a dog, and all dogs love belly rubs. So Shera must love belly rubs.”
The three statements given are inferences since we are drawing conclusions based on known facts.
Statement 1: The speaker does not see Ritu. Ritu had told the speaker that she was tired. From this known information, the speaker is concluding that Ritu must have gone home to bed.
Statement 2: The speaker knows that Ram is going to the gym a lot. From this information, the speaker is inferring that Ram must have been trying to lose weight.
Statement 3: It is known that Shera is a dog and all dogs love belly rubs. The speaker thus, infers from this that Shera must love belly rubs, too.
Hence, the answer is option B.
