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.

• B. FIFJ
• C. IJIF
• D. JIFF

Hint:

When judging past trends, treat verifiable historical statements as Facts, but treat any subjective evaluation as a Judgement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Sentence A — "In the past, it appears, wealth distribution, and not wealth creation has dominated the economic policy." — This is a historical observation based on past policy trends, hence a Fact (F).
Sentence B — "Clearly, the government has not bothered to eradicate poverty." — The use of "clearly" shows it is an opinion or evaluation, hence a Judgement (J).
Sentence C — "Today’s liberalization is far from the hitherto Nehruvian socialism." — This is a statement comparing two economic approaches; since it can be verified historically and in current policy, it is an Inference (I).
Sentence D — "Results are evident in the form of a boom in the manufacturing sector output and turnover of all industries." — This is a verifiable economic result, hence a Fact (F).
Thus, the classification is: F (A), J (B), I (C), F (D) → FJIF.
