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 there be a ban on using mobile phones while driving vehicles?
Arguments:
I. No. This will affect the basic purpose of keeping a mobile phone.
II. Yes. Two works simultaneously should not be permissible.
-
- 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
Basic purpose of keeping a mobile phone is to facilitate mobile holders to be in touch whit the outside would. This purpose will not be affected even after the implementation of the move. Hence , I is weak. II is ambiguous.
