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 articles of only deserving authors be allowed to be published? Arguments : I. Yes. It will save a lot of paper which is in short supply. II. No. It is not possible to draw a line between the deserving and the undeserving.

The correct answer is: D. Neither I nor II is strong

Argument I is not strong because it does not address the main issue of whether or not articles of only deserving authors should be allowed to be published. The fact that paper is in short supply is a valid concern, but it is not the only factor to consider. For example, it is also important to consider the quality of the articles and the potential benefits of publishing them.

Argument II is not strong because it is based on the assumption that it is possible to draw a line between deserving and undeserving authors. However, this is a difficult task, and there is no clear consensus on how to do it. In addition, even if it were possible to draw such a line, it is not clear that it would be desirable to do so. For example, it could lead to the suppression of important ideas.

In conclusion, neither argument I nor II is strong.
