81. As we know when the sample is unrepresentable and is very small then an enumerative induction fails to be a strong argument . A non representative sample always leads to failure of it .

Correct option is option B

According to above explanation the correct answer is option B

83.

The best theory is the eligible theory that meets the criteria of adequacy better than any of its competitors.

Option D is correct .

84.

• consistency with considered moral judgments,
• consistency with our experience of the moral life,
