The following question consist 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 children be legally made responsible to take care o'f their parents during their old age?

Arguments: I. Yes. Such matter can only be solved by legal means.

                  II. Yes. Only this will bring some relief to poor parents.


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 D

Taking care of the parents is a moral duty of the children and cannot be thrust upon them legally, nor such a compulsion can ensure good care of the old people. So, none of the arguments holds strong.
