[amp_mcq option1=”None is strong” option2=”Only I and II are strong” option3=”All are strong” option4=”Only I and III are strong E. None of these” correct=”option2″]

The correct answer is: Only I and III are strong.

Argument I is strong because it is based on the principle of self-determination. The students are the best judge of their capabilities and they should be allowed to make their own decisions about their education.

Argument II is weak because it is based on the assumption that all students need to study relevant subjects in graduate courses. This is not always the case. There are many post-graduate courses that are open to students from a variety of backgrounds.

Argument III is strong because it is based on the reality of limited resources. There are not enough institutes offering post-graduate courses to accommodate all the graduates desirous of seeking post-graduate education of their own choice. This means that some students will have to be turned away, regardless of their qualifications.

In conclusion, only arguments I and III are strong.
