Say whether the following statements are true or flase

Question

Buddha carried his new found knowledge to benares

Answer 1

To test if a statement is true or false:

Is it opinion based?:

Example: Buddha should have taken that knowledge to Benares.

Here I used words like should/could/must to indicate that its my opinion. Opinions are neither true/false

Is there emotional or subjective language?

Example: I hated the fact that Buddha took it to Benares.

Here I used my opinions and subjective feelings. Feelings are neither true/false

Is all information correct?

Example: Buddha took that knowledge to Detroit.

Here, the location is false, making the statement false.

**Opinions are rarely if ever true or false.**

To test if it true:

Can this be backed up by other sources/general knowledge?

Example: Abraham Lincoln served as President of the US. Its true as I can find something to tell me the same thing.

So back to your statement:

Buddha carried his new found knowledge to benares.

Here, we can see that the statement lacks, opinion language (should/must, I think/feel) and emotional language (hate/love). The next thing to look at is: Was it the Buddha and did he take that knowledge to Benares? If one part of this statement is false, the whole sentence is false. If both are true, true of course.

The last part we can look at is: can you verify the information or do you have general knowledge which can check the "trueness" of the statement. If yes, then true.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Answer 2

It should be:

Buddha carried his newfound knowledge to Benares.

"Newfound" is an adjective meaning "something that is newly discovered or acquired". It should be written out as one word.

Be sure to capitalize all proper nouns such as place names.
