पर्याय

• Z can be a responsible critic

• Z cannot be a responsible critic

• Either Z can be or Z cannot be a responsible critic.

• Z cannot become a responsible critic

Answer 1

It can be verified from the diagram that option Either Z can be or Z cannot be a responsible critic.

Answer 2

Z cannot be a responsible critic

Explanation:

This statement is similar to ‘if A then B’ type where A is the causes and B is the effect. It says all persons who have done any creative work (cause) can be responsible critics (effect). It doesn’t mean that creative work (cause) is the only way to be a responsible critic (effect). This is so because the effect can have no or some other cause too. Hence, no conclusion about Z can be made given the two statements.
