Solution

Hey i am writing a few answers so that you can understand what should be done to these type of questions:

1. Here the premise of the statement is that If some one is smiling all the time than they are always happy, only then the statement can be true. So what you need to do is first assume that the statement is correct and find the reason why its correct, the reason will automatically give you the premise of the statement.

2. Some part of this statement is missing lets take another one.

3.Ok , here premise should be that if someone is not talking in your defense than he/she is always aginst you.

4.here premise is that if some lights are getting on then it is always true that the fuse is not blown.

5.Here premise is if bullet has entered through back than it is always true that the person did not commit suicide.

6. Poor spiritual people can always see the God, is the premise here.
