Expert Solution

49. The correct answer is ( D ).

The most logically sound proof in favour of God's existence is the statement that it is very unlikely that the universe came into existence the way it is now, without any supernatural intervention. With various mountains, rivers, and various other physical structures around the world it is very unlikely to believe that it just came into existence on its own.

Other statements are not logically sound to convince presence of God.

50. The correct answer is ( B ).

In simple words incomplete induction is a method of obtaining new knowledge, the premises and conclusion of which contain the same information.

All the three options other than ( B ) are aimed at obtaining information from people at a personal level such as through online surveys, or through going through people's diaries, or even through polling.

51. The correct answer is ( C ).

After Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin, processing cotton got easier, which resulted in greater availability of cheaper cloth. But the invention caused increase in the number of slaves needed to pick the cotton which caused increase in demand for slaves.
