This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
‘All monkeys have tails’ is an absolute statement. True or False.
Answer:
The correct answer is True.
Explanation:
An Absolute Statement is a completely true statement that does not doubt anything that has been said. What has been said is a reality and cannot vary.
"All monkeys have tails" is something real. By nature all the monkeys have a tail and that is a fact, there is no possibility that anyone can believe that somewhere in the world the monkeys are born without a tail in a normal and usual way.
When an absolute statement can generate some type of doubt, you must have evidence to support your statement, otherwise your statement will lose logic.
Given this information we can say that the answer is True.
Yes, an absolute statement is one that leaves no room for variation; it's not relative or comparative.
B. Clues
C. Interest
D. Evidence
