Answer

Correct Answer: Both I and II follow

Explanation

Given data

  • Statement: The world is not inherently good or evil; individuals construct their own perceived world.
  • Conclusions:
    • I: Some people find this world quite good.
    • II: Some people find this world quite bad.

Concept/Approach

If perception is individually manufactured, a diversity of judgments necessarily results—positive for some, negative for others.

Step-by-Step logic1) Subjective construction implies existence of people perceiving it as good ⇒ I follows.2) Symmetrically, others will construct it as bad ⇒ II follows.

Verification/Alternative

The statement denies a single objective moral valence; variability across observers is the natural inference.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming a neutral average judgment rather than a distribution of views.

Final AnswerBoth I and II follow.
