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 three arguments numbered I and II and III. You have to decide which of the argument is 'strong' and which is 'weak'.

Statement

Arguments
I. Yes, this will help the students to complete their education without a break of one year.
II. Yes, this is a forward looking strategy to help the students and motivate them for higher studies.
III. No, such students do not choose to continue their studies without having passed in all the subjects in HSC.
-
- Only I is strong
- Only II is strong
- Only III is strong
- Either II or III and I are strong
- None of the above
Correct Option: D
Argument I is definitely strong as this will help a student to avoid one year gap that could occur in his studies. Argument II and III are both correct and hold strong but they contradict each other, So only one can be true.
