Question

Classify each sentence as: J: Judgement — opinion, recommendation, or evaluation.
F: Fact — a verifiable statement or observable truth.
I: Inference — a logical conclusion drawn from facts.
A. Unless the banks agree to a deferment of the interest, we cannot show profits this year.
B. This would not have happened had we adopted a stricter credit scheme.
C. The revenues so far cover only the cost and salaries.
D. Let us learn a lesson: we cannot make profits without complete control over credit.

• A. IIJF
• B. IJFI
• C. FJIF
• D. JFJI

Hint:

Hypothetical or conditional cause–effect statements are often inferences; look for “would have” or “unless” to identify them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Sentence A — "Unless the banks agree to a deferment of the interest, we cannot show profits this year." — This is a conditional deduction based on financial reality, making it an Inference (I).
Sentence B — "This would not have happened had we adopted a stricter credit scheme." — This is another conclusion based on a hypothetical scenario, also an Inference (I).
Sentence C — "The revenues so far cover only the cost and salaries." — This is a directly verifiable financial statement, hence a Fact (F).
Sentence D — "Let us learn a lesson: we cannot make profits without complete control over credit." — This is an evaluative recommendation drawn from experience, making it a Judgement (J).
Thus, the classification is: I (A), I (B), F (C), J (D) → IIJF.
