Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The statement- “Pradeep’s mind is a cave: deep, dark and full of bats” is an analogy which is only descriptive in nature.
Statement II: The statement- “Pradeep’s mind is cave; deep, dark and full of bats” is an analogy which contains an argument.
In the light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A.

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

B.

Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

C.

Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

D.

Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Correct option is C

Statement I is correct because the given statement is primarily descriptive, using metaphorical language to convey the complexity or mysterious nature of Pradeep’s mind. It doesn’t assert a logical argument but rather paints a vivid picture for illustrative purposes. 
Statement II is incorrect because while the statement uses analogy, it does not inherently contain an argument. An argument would require a conclusion supported by premises, which this statement lacks. It merely offers a descriptive, albeit vivid, comparison without presenting reasons that logically lead to a specific conclusion.
Information Booster:
Option a and d: Both options are incorrect as they misinterpret the nature of the analogy given in the statement either as both correct or arguing that Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct, respectively.
Option b: This option suggests both statements are incorrect, which is inaccurate because the first statement correctly identifies the nature of the analogy as purely descriptive.
