Correct answer: A. Argument in circleचक्रक युक्ति (Argument in circle)
Explanation
The reason offered ("it is not right for children to be exposed to such words") merely restates the conclusion ("it is immoral to use such textbooks") in different words, so the premise assumes what it is supposed to prove. This is circular reasoning (petitio principii / begging the question).दिया गया कारण ("बच्चों को ऐसे शब्दों से अवगत होना उचित नहीं") निष्कर्ष ("ऐसी पाठ्यपुस्तकों का प्रयोग अनैतिक है") को ही दूसरे शब्दों में दोहराता है, अर्थात् आधार वही मान लेता है जिसे सिद्ध करना है। यह चक्रक युक्ति (petitio principii) है।More Logical Reasoning questions
