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 there be an amendment in the acts related to check-bouncing?
Arguments:
I. Yes, Existing laws are not sufficient in curbing the incidents related to check-bouncing.
II. Yes. This will lessen the miseries of entrepreneurs due to increase in number of incidents of delay in payment and problems related to check-bouncing.

- 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: B
I is weak because ''amendment'' itself implies that the existing laws are not sufficient. There is no addition to what has been said in the statement. II is strong because the miseries of the entrepreneurs are certainly not desirable.
