Directions : Following question consists of a statement followed by three arguments I, II and III . You have to decide which of the arguments is a STRONG arguments and which is a WEAK Argument. Statement : Should religion be taught in our schools? Arguments : I. No. Ours is a secular state. II. Yes. Teaching religion helps inculcate moral values among children. III. No. How can one dream of such a step when we want the young generation to fulfil its role in the 21st century.

The correct answer is: C. Only I is strong

Argument I is a strong argument because it is based on a valid reason. A secular state is a state that does not endorse any particular religion. This means that the government should not promote any particular religion in schools. Argument II is a weak argument because it is based on an assumption that is not necessarily true. Just because religion can help inculcate moral values among children does not mean that it is the only way to do so. There are many other ways to teach children moral values, such as through family, community, and culture. Argument III is a weak argument because it is based on an emotional appeal. The speaker is trying to make the reader feel guilty by suggesting that if we do not teach religion in schools, the young generation will not be able to fulfill its role in the 21st century. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, there are many successful countries in the world that do not teach religion in schools.

In conclusion, only Argument I is a strong argument.
