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 parents play with their children?
Arguments
I. Yes, it helps in building up a healthy and much needed companionship between children and parents.
II. No children treat their parents like equals and there is no distance left.
-
- 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 because a close companionship bridges the gap between parents and children. Arguments II is not supported by a positive logical aspect of the statement and hence, is weak argument.
