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

Generalisation: Professors with tenure don't work as hard as professors without tenure.

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