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.

  1. Statement:
    Should there be a screening test only for those doctors who get their qualification from foreign universities and want to practise in India?
    Arguments:
    I. Yes, the move will be effective by controlling the quality of doctors coming into India.
    II. No, there is no similar screening procedure for Indian graduates.
    1. if only argument I is strong
    2. if only argument II is strong
    3. if either I or II is strong
    4. if neither I nor II is strong
    5. if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: A

I Only I is strong. Quality of a doctor must not be neglected. II is not strong because it adds nothing to the statement.
