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:
MNCs who are not setting up plants in the country and marketing only their products at cheaper competitive prices should be delicensed .
Arguments:
I. Yes, this does not add much benefit to the employment scenario of the country.
II. No, it gives benefits to the general consumers at large .
-
- if only argument I is strong
- if only argument II is strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: A
Concern for employment should be paramount. Hence I is strong. II is not strong because cheaper prices and setting up plant in India should not be seen as mutually exclusive. The MNCs will keep on benefiting the consumer even when it produces good in India .
