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 the employer have the right to terminate the service of an employee on the ground of disability?
Arguments:
I. Yes. The employee plays an important role in achieving the employer 's objective. If an employee become unable to perform the role because of disability, the employer must have the right to terminate the service of the employee.
II. No. Humanity can't be ignored. If our constitution facilitates reservation in jobs for the disabled, why think of termination of service if a normal person becomes disabled?
-
- 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: E
Both I and II are strong. I is strong on the ground of 'utility' and II on 'humanity'.
