Direction: In making decision about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'Strong' arguments and 'Weak' arguments. 'Strong' arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. 'Weak' arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'Strong' argument and which is a 'Weak' argument ?
-
Statement
Should luxury hotels be banned in India?
Arguments
I. Yes, these are places from where international criminals operate.
II. No, affluent foreign tourists will have no place to stay.
-
- if only Argument I is strong
- if only Argument II is strong
- if either I nor II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: B
The luxury hotels are symbols of country's development and a place for staying the affluent foreign tourists. So Argument II is a strong one. Argument I is a weak argument because ban on luxury hotels is not a way to end the international criminals.
