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 Indian restart bus service between India and the neighboring country, which is supposed to be the epicenter of cross- border terrorism in Indian ?
Arguments:
I. Yes, it will increase the scope of getting better health services, quality products, and doing good business, besides easing tension between the two countries, and give impetus to mutual harmony.
II. No, it will be used for smuggling of fake currency, spurious drugs, sophisticated arms etc.
-
- 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: A
I is strong on the ground of convenience brought to the people. II is not strong because restarting bus services between the two countries does not mean that the services will be without security check-up.
