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 we scrap the system of formal education beyond graduation? Arguments : I. Yes. It will mean taking employment at an early date. II. No. It will mean lack of depth of knowledge.

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: D. Neither I nor II is strong

Argument I is not strong because it does not provide any evidence to support the claim that scrapping the system of formal education beyond graduation will lead to people taking employment at an early date. It is possible that people would still choose to pursue further education even if it were not compulsory, or that they would find other ways to gain the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in the workforce.

Argument II is not strong because it does not provide any evidence to support the claim that scrapping the system of formal education beyond graduation will lead to a lack of depth of knowledge. It is possible that people would still be able to acquire a deep understanding of their chosen subject matter through other means, such as independent study or apprenticeships.

In conclusion, neither argument I nor II is strong enough to support the claim that we should scrap the system of formal education beyond graduation.
