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 ?

  1. Statement
    Should we impart sex education in schools ?
    Arguments
    I. Yes, all the progressive nations do so.
    II. No, we cannot impart it in a coeducational school.
    1. if only Arguments I is strong
    2. if only Arguments II is strong
    3. if either I or II is strong
    4. if neither I nor II is strong
Correct Option: D

Both the arguments are ambiguous and not supported by a clear cut logic. Hence, both are weak.
