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:
    University degrees should be completely delinked from the criterion of employment openings.
    Arguments:
    I. Yes, at present most of the subjects have no practical dimension in the course structure.
    II.Yes, huge crowd for conventional education will be curbed and magnitude of 'educated unemployed' would no longer be there in the years to come.
    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
Correct Option: D

Practical dimension has always been laid with applicative wisdom of a learned person. degrees never had anything to do with that.so, I is not strong.II seems irrelevant because it wants to deal with unemployment problem,not with the compatibility of university education and employment opportunities.
