Directions: In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'strong' arguments and 'weak' arguments so far as they relate to the question. 'Strong' arguments must be both important and directly related to the question. 'Weak' arguments may not be directly related to the question. The statement 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. Give answer (1) if only argument I is strong; give answer (2) if only argument II is strong; give answer (3) if one could weaken the other; give answer (4) if neither I nor II is strong; and give answer (5) if both I and II are strong.

Statement: Should teachers boycott the examinations for the fulfillment of their demands? Arguments: I. Yes, since all constitutional means for getting their justifiable demands fulfilled have failed. II. No, examination work is a part and parcel of their job.
