War is a powerful force that has shaped the world throughout history. It has brought both destruction and progress, depending on which side of it one stands. In war, no single group or individual can be considered __________; each battle must be fought with strategy and courage to achieve victory. The devastating consequences of war are felt by all participants regardless of their involvement in its decisionmaking process. War brings with it immense suffering that often leaves lingering psychological scars for generations after the conflict ends. Ultimately, war should only ever serve as an absolute last resort when diplomacy fails and human lives hang in the balance before any other option is considered viable.

What kind of argument is this? Was it ok for the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany in 1939? Yes, because Germany had already wrongly invaded other countries in Europe, and Hitler was intent on taking over the whole of Europe. The leaders of the United Kingdom wanted to protect themselves and other countries from being invaded and occupied by the Germans, so their decision to go to war was justified. Group of answer choicesAn argument by analogyA moral argumentAn inductive argumentA deductive argumentA causal argument

Question No 24.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.Just war theory deals with the justification of how and why wars are fought. The justification can be either theoretical or historical. The theoretical aspect is concerned with ethically justifying war and the forms that warfare may or may not take. The historical aspect, or the “just war tradition,” deals with the historical body of rules or agreements that have been applied in various wars across the ages. For instance, international agreements such as the Geneva and Hague Conventions are historical rules aimed at limiting certain kinds of warfare which lawyers may refer to in prosecuting transgressors, but it is the role of ethics to examine these institutional agreements for their philosophical coherence as well as to inquire into whether aspects of the conventions ought to be changed. The just war tradition may also consider the thoughts of various philosophers and lawyers through the ages and examine both their philosophical visions of war’s ethical limits (or absence of) and whether their thoughts have contributed to the body of conventions that have evolved to guide war and warfare.1)  Just war theory includes forms of warfare and historical rules, assessing international agreements like the Geneva and Hague Conventions.2)  Just war theory involves ethical and historical perspectives on warfare, examining and revising international agreements on warfare.3)  Just war theory covers ethical justifications and historical traditions, including the role of philosophers and international agreements.4)  Just war theory addresses the ethical justification of war and examines historical agreements by philosophers and lawyers.
