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.
