[amp_mcq option1=”Only argument I is strong” option2=”Only argument II is strong” option3=”Either I or II is strong” option4=”Neither I nor II is strong E. Both I and II are strong” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: A. Only argument I is strong<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Argument I is strong because it is based on sound reasoning and evidence. High chimneys disperse pollutants over a larger area, which reduces the concentration of pollutants at ground level. This can improve air quality and reduce the health risks associated with air pollution.<\/p>\n

Argument II is weak because it is based on a false premise. The fact that high chimneys emit pollutants into the upper atmosphere does not necessarily mean that they increase pollution. In fact, high chimneys can actually help to reduce pollution by dispersing pollutants over a larger area.<\/p>\n
