Given below is a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is/ are 'strong' argument(s) that justify/ justifies the statement.
Statement: Should the government ban liquor production?

Arguments: I. Yes, this will decrease road accidents and many other health issues.
II. No, this decision will kill the jobs in liquor industry.

  1. A
    Only I is strong
  2. B
    Only II is strong
  3. C
    Neither I nor II is strong
  4. D
    Both I and II are strong

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

We need to evaluate the strength of both arguments independently based on social and economic impact:
* Argument I is strong because liquor consumption is directly linked to social issues like hit-and-run road accidents and critical health problems. Banning it addresses a vital public safety concern.
* Argument II is also strong because the liquor industry employs a large number of people. A complete ban would lead to massive unemployment and loss of livelihood, which is a major economic consequence.

Since both arguments present logical, significant, and realistic outcomes of the statement, both are strong.
