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'.

Arguments
I. Yes, all the pros and cons are weighted in their proper perspectives and the right solutions is reached.
II. No, no one is really convinced.
-
- 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 it provides a clear logic and is directly related to statement. Argument II is without logic and hence, is a weak argument.
