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.

    Should private courier services be banned in India?
    Arguments:
    I. Yes, a lot of manipulation regarding charges has been witnessed by many courier services.
    II. No, private services always provide better services than other.
    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
    5. if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: D

Any private services can't be banned only because there are charges against manipulation which can be rectified by legal actions. Hence I weak. II is also weak because of the word 'always'.
