The following question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.

 

Statement: Should non-vegetarian food be totally banned in our country?

Arguments: I. Yes. It is expensive and therefore it is beyond the means of most people in our country.

II. No. Nothing should be banned in a democratic country like ours.


A) if only argument I is strong

B) if only argument II is strong

C) if either I or II is strong

D) if neither I nor II is strong

E) if both I and II are strong.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Clearly, restriction on their diet of people will be denying them their basic human rights. So, only argument II holds.
