The first part of the statement is a given fact while the second part is the drawn conclusion, so, the statement is an inference. The third statement is a fact, it states figures, statistics and gives plain, true information. The fourth statement is a judgement. It is not a fact for it does not give verifiable information. It can be confused as an inference but one should keep in mind that the statement is not a conclusion drawn from given facts but a personal opinion of the writer. The writer believes that the goal of universalisation of elementary education should be evolution and development of the country. Thus, it is a judgement. Thus, the correct answer is (a).

(b) The first statement is a judgement, it is not a conclusion derived from objective, known facts but an opinion of the author. The second statement is an inference because it is based on some previously known facts ‘we know’, conflicts continue to trouble us even without war and the conclusion drawn from this is that they change in character. So, this statement is an inference. The third statement is a judgement. There is no fact stated on basis of which the conclusion is drawn, rather it is simply a personal opinion and not an objective truth. The fourth statement is a fact which gives verifiable information, figures or statistics. Thus, the right answer is (b).

Solution:

The fourth statement is also a judgement, it is an author’s opinion that doing what you love makes each moment a celebration. So, all the four statements are judgements. Thus, answer is (d).
