Directions: Sometimes we conclude about characteristics of a general phenomenon by studying or analyzing characteristics of a particular phenomenon. Below are given such inductive arguments. The generalization is given first, followed by a particular statement. You have to find out whether the numbered particular statement strongly confirms, vaguely hints, contradicts, or is irrelevant to the generalisation. Read the question below and answer accordingly.

- The possibility of losing one`s job is an incentive to work hard.
- Professor Smith, who is tenured, work 14 hours a day. What type of support does statement (2) provide for this generalization?
