Multiple choice

Directions: In the following question, an issue is raised and two arguments are advanced; one in favour and one against. You have to decide which argument is strong and which one is weak. Remember a strong argument is both important and relevant and a weak argument relates to an unimportant aspect and has little relevance to the core issue.

  2. If only argument II is strong

  3. If neither argument I nor II is strong

  4. If both the arguments are strong

B Correct answer
Explanation

I is weak because there are other ways to remove these animals from the streets without killing them, even if they are a threat to the citizens. II is a very strong argument because it talks about animals' right to live as co-inhabitants of the planet.
