Strength of analogical arguments – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and E correctly describe what makes analogical arguments stronger or weaker and how they are used in reasoning. C is false because irrelevant similarities do not necessarily strengthen an analogy; relevance matters. Thus A, B, D and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all true statements and excludes C (false).

Option B:
Option B is incomplete because it omits E (role in hypothesis generation).

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it omits A (relevant similarity is central).

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes C (false).
