Question

Statement: Should articles of only deserving authors be allowed to be published?

Arguments:

1. Yes. It will save a lot of paper which is in short supply.

2. No. It is not possible to draw a line between the deserving and the undeserving.

• A. Only argument I is strong
• B. Only argument II is strong
• C. Either I or II is strong
• D. Both I and II are strong

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Only argument II is strong

Clearly, I does not provide a strong reason in support of the statement. Also, it is not possible to analyze the really deserving and not deserving. So/argument II holds strong.
