Directions : Following question consists of a statement followed by four arguments I, II, III and IV. You have to decide which of the arguments is a STRONG arguments and which is a WEAK Argument. Statement : Should trade unions be banned completely? Arguments : I. Yes. Workers can concentrate on production. II. No. This is the only way through which employees can put their demands before the management. III. Yes. Employees get their illegal demands fulfilled through these unions. IV. No. Trade unions are not banned in other economically advanced countries.

The correct answer is: E. None of these

Argument I is a strong argument because it is based on the idea that trade unions can distract workers from their work. However, this argument does not take into account the fact that trade unions can also play a positive role in the workplace, such as by representing workers’ interests and negotiating for better pay and conditions.

Argument II is a weak argument because it is based on the idea that trade unions are the only way for employees to put their demands before the management. However, there are other ways for employees to do this, such as through individual negotiations or through employee representation schemes.

Argument III is a weak argument because it is based on the idea that employees get their illegal demands fulfilled through trade unions. However, this is not always the case, and trade unions are often involved in negotiating fair and legal agreements between employers and employees.

Argument IV is a weak argument because it is based on the idea that trade unions are not banned in other economically advanced countries. However, this does not mean that trade unions are always effective or that they do not have negative consequences.

In conclusion, none of the arguments presented are strong.
