Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. He conveyed complex ideas in simple, everyday Tamil.Structural Breakdown: The text contrasts the difficulty of the subject matter (complex spiritual concepts) with the simplicity of the delivery mechanism (down-to-earth Tamil). Historical/Related Context: Tamil is one of the world's oldest classical languages, deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of Rameswaram.
By using the local vernacular instead of formal liturgical languages (like Arabic or Sanskrit), Jainulabdeen democratized spiritual knowledge.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 1 is incorrect because Kalam explicitly states that his father used "simple, down-to-earth Tamil" to explain these concepts, not classical Arabic.
