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 cricket be made a national game for India, replacing hockey?
Arguments:
I. Yes, our performance in hockey, both at national and international levels, is very dismal in comparison with cricket.
II. Yes, recognition of cricket and cricket players is more than hockey and hockey players.

- 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
Both I and II are weak arguments. Because it is not prudent to change the national game on account of less recognition or dismal performance.
