Direction: Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two argument's numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the argument is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.
-
Statement:
Should the sex determination test during pregnancy be completely banned ?
Arguments:
I. Yes. This leads to indiscriminate female feticide and eventually will lead to social imbalance.
II. No. People have a right to know about their unborn child.
-
- if only argument I is strong
- if only argument II are strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong and
- if both I and II are strong.
Correct Option: A
Parents indulging in sex determination of their unborn child generally do so, they want to keep only a boy child and do away with a girl child. So, argument I holds. Also, people have a right to know only about the health, development and general well- being of the child before its birth, and not the sex. So, argument II does not hold strong.
