Answer to Question 1

False. Positive statements are not merely rhetorical. Rather, positive statements are testable statements. On the other hand, normative statements are not testable and therefore are often the most debated topics in society.

Answer to Question 2

False. Neither theory can be rejected but if they are competing, then the test is inconclusive.
