Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Statement I:The concept of validity cannot be applied to single propositions.

Statement II:The concept of truth cannot be applied to arguments.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Explanation

Both statements are correct: validity belongs to arguments, truth to propositions.

A single proposition can only be true or false, never valid or invalid.

Validity concerns how premises support a conclusion, so it needs an argument.

An argument as a whole is not itself called true or false.

Thus validity cannot apply to lone propositions, and truth cannot apply to arguments.
