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 practising doctors be brought under Government control so that they get salary from the Government and treat patients free of cost? Arguments : I. No. How can any country do such an undemocratic thing? II. Yes. Despite many problems, it will certainly help minimize, if not eradicate, unethical medical practices.

The correct answer is: Only argument II is strong.

Argument I is weak because it is based on an appeal to emotion. The statement “How can any country do such an undemocratic thing?” is an attempt to evoke a sense of outrage in the reader, rather than providing a logical argument against the proposal.

Argument II is strong because it is based on a factual claim. The statement “Despite many problems, it will certainly help minimize, if not eradicate, unethical medical practices” is a factual claim that can be supported by evidence.

It is important to note that the statement “Should all the practising doctors be brought under Government control so that they get salary from the Government and treat patients free of cost?” is a complex one, and there are many factors to consider before making a decision. However, based on the two arguments provided, only argument II is strong.
