In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'strong' and 'weak' arguments. ' Strong' arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the questions. 'Weak' arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly relative to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question:
Statement: Should road repair work in big cities be carried out only late at night?
Arguments:
I. No, this way the work will never get completed.
II. No, there will be unnecessary use of electricity.
III. Yes, the commuters will face lot of problems due to repair work during the day.
(a) None is strong
(b) Only I is strong
(c) Only III is strong
(d) Only II and III strong
(e) Only I and II are strong.
