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.

- if neither I nor II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: E
I is strong on humanitarian ground. II is also strong because this is the ultimate step to restrict the mob.
