Given below are two statements:
Statement I: To draw an analogy between two or more entities is to indicate one or more respects in which they are similar. Statement II: Every analogical inference proceeds from the similarity of two or more things in one or more respects to the similarity of those things in some further respect.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. Statement I defines analogy correctly by stating that it involves identifying similarities between two or more entities. Statement II correctly explains that analogical inference moves from established similarities to hypothesize further similarities in other respects.
Information Booster: 1. Analogy involves comparing two entities based on shared characteristics.
2. Analogical Inference: Extends known similarities to predict further similarities.
3. Analogies are often used to explain complex concepts by relating them to simpler, more familiar ideas.
4. They play an important role in scientific reasoning, law, and everyday decision-making.
5. Strong Analogy: The more relevant the shared features, the stronger the analogy.
6. Weak Analogy: If the similarities are superficial, the analogy may lead to faulty conclusions.
· Strong Analogies are used in legal cases where prior decisions are based on analogous facts.
· Analogies are frequently used in teaching and explaining abstract ideas.
