Direction: In making decisions about important question, it is desirable to distinguish between a 'strong'argument and a 'weak' argument. A ' strong' argument must be both important and directly related to the question. A 'weak' argument may not be directly related to the question and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspect of the question. Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the argument is 'strong' and which is 'weak'.

Statement
Should the major part of school examinations be made objective type?
Arguments

- if only Argument I is strong
- if only Argument II is strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: A
Argument I is strong as the ability to express gives groundness to one's education. Argument II is weak because to call a method 'the best' without giving any reason is simplistic assertion.
