Direction: In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ''Strong'' arguments and ''Weak'' arguments insofar as they relate to the question. ''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.

Statement:
Should evidence of witnesses staying in foreign countries recorded by trial courts through video conferencing be legalized?
Arguments:
I. Yes, this will reduce the problem of witnesses regarding unnecessary traveling.
II. No, a system initiated by our forefathers must not be changed at all.

- 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: D
Both I and II are not strong. I is weak because it cares for witnesses but does not focus on the core issue -the impact of the move on our legal system . II is also weak because it assumes that change is something undesirable. Which is not necessary.
