None is strong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Argument I is not strong because it does not take into account the fact that India can import coal from other countries. Argument II is not strong because it does not take into account the fact that India is investing in renewable energy sources. Argument III is not strong because it does not take into account the fact that India can provide alternative employment for the people who are currently employed in the coal mining industry.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a more detailed explanation of each argument:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Argument I: The present stock of coal will not last long if we continue mining at the present rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This argument is not strong because it does not take into account the fact that India can import coal from other countries. India is the world&#8217;s second-largest importer of coal, and it is likely that this trend will continue in the future. As a result, even if India&#8217;s domestic coal reserves are depleted, it will still be able to meet its energy needs by importing coal from other countries.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Argument II: We do not have alternate energy source of sufficient quantity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This argument is not strong because it does not take into account the fact that India is investing in renewable energy sources. India is the world&#8217;s fourth-largest investor in renewable energy, and it is likely that this trend will continue in the future. As a result, even if India does not have enough alternate energy sources to meet its current energy needs, it will likely have enough in the future.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Argument III: This will put millions of people at a disadvantage and their lives will get adversely affected and also the industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This argument is not strong because it does not take into account the fact that India can provide alternative employment for the people who are currently employed in the coal mining industry. India has a large and growing economy, and it is likely that there will be plenty of opportunities for employment in other sectors of the economy. As a result, even if India stops mining coal, it will likely be able to provide alternative employment for the people who are currently employed in the coal mining industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Only I and II are strong&#8221; option2=&#8221;Only II and III are strong&#8221; option3=&#8221;Only I and III are strong&#8221; option4=&#8221;All are strong E.
