Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: C
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Kalam asked why his father didn't preach directly to the people, showing an analytical mind seeking practical application.Structural Breakdown: The interaction is pivotal: Kalam takes his father's profound philosophy (seeking the internal enemy) and tests its utility in the real world against the crowds waiting outside.
Historical/Related Context: This questioning nature is the bedrock of the scientific method.
Kalam is observing a phenomenon (people suffering), learning a theory (introspection is the cure), and asking why the theory isn't being applied.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 2 is incorrect because the text stated earlier that Jainulabdeen could convey complex concepts in simple Tamil.
