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.
