In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to distinguish between a‘strong' argument and a 'weak' argument. A strong' argument must be both important and directly related to the question. A‘weak’ argument may not be directly related to the question and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspect of the question. Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is'strong' and which is'weak
Statement
Should there be a total ban on use of plastic bags?
Arguments
I. No, instead the thickness of plastic bags, which can be used without much damage to the environment, should be specified.
II. Yes, use of plastic bags causes various problems like water pollution and water logging and hence, it is necessary to ban it.

Options

A. if only argument I is strong.
B. if only argument II is strong.
C. if either argument I or II is strong.
D. if both arguments I and II are strong.

Answer

D

Explanation

Argument I is strong because it takes a reconciliatory way to solve the problem. Argument II is also strong because use of plastic bags causes various problems like water pollution and water-logging etc. So, Argument II gives the genuine reason.
