Directions : Each of the following question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a STRONG arguments and which is a WEAK Argument. Statement : Should all the unauthorized structures in the city be demolished? Arguments : I. No. Where will the people residing in such houses live? II. Yes. This will give a clear message to general public and they will refrain from constructing unauthorized buildings.

Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong E. Both I and II are strong

The correct answer is: Only argument II is strong.

Argument I is weak because it does not provide a strong reason why unauthorized structures should not be demolished. The fact that people live in these structures does not mean that they should not be demolished. There are other ways to provide housing for these people, such as building public housing or providing subsidies for them to rent or buy homes in the private market.

Argument II is strong because it provides a good reason why unauthorized structures should be demolished. Demolishing these structures will send a clear message to the public that unauthorized construction will not be tolerated. This may discourage people from constructing unauthorized buildings in the future.

Here are some additional details about each argument:

  • Argument I: This argument is weak because it does not provide a strong reason why unauthorized structures should not be demolished. The fact that people live in these structures does not mean that they should not be demolished. There are other ways to provide housing for these people, such as building public housing or providing subsidies for them to rent or buy homes in the private market.
  • Argument II: This argument is strong because it provides a good reason why unauthorized structures should be demolished. Demolishing these structures will send a clear message to the public that unauthorized construction will not be tolerated.
