In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong arguments and weak arguments. Strong arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. Weak arguments are those which are of miner important and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a 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 a strong argument and which is a weak argument.
Statement: Should the prestigious people who have committed crime unknowingly, be met with special treatment?
Arguments: I. Yes. The prestigious people do not commit crime intentionally. II. No. It is our policy that everybody is equal before the law.

Options

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

Answer

B

Explanation

I. Weak: The argument is questioning the statement. The statement says, for example, If Shahrukh Khan commits crime unknowingly, should he be given special treatment? The argument questions the statement by quoting, that Shahrukh Khan does not commit crime intentionally. II. Strong: It is a universally accepted truth that law is unpartial and equal for all individuals.
