Only argument I is strong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Argument I is strong because it provides a clear and logical reason why colleges should be given the status of a university. The argument states that colleges are in a better position to assess the student&#8217;s performance than universities, and therefore the degrees awarded by colleges will be more valid. This argument is based on the assumption that colleges have a closer relationship with their students and are therefore better able to evaluate their academic progress. This assumption is plausible, and the argument does not rely on any unproven or controversial claims.<\/p>\n<p>Argument II is weak because it is based on the unsubstantiated claim that there will be nepotism and corruption in awarding degrees by colleges. This claim is not supported by any evidence, and it is possible that colleges could award degrees fairly and without bias. Additionally, the argument does not address the main issue of whether or not colleges are in a better position to assess the student&#8217;s performance than universities.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, only argument I is strong.
