Question

    Each question given below consists of a statement,

    followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument. Statement: Should the government make it mandatory for all two-wheeler riders to wear helmets at all times while riding? Arguments: I. Yes, this will significantly reduce head injuries and fatalities in case of accidents, improving public safety. II. No, it will impose unnecessary restrictions on individual freedom and choice.
    A Only argument I is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only argument II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either I or II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and II are strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Argument I is strong because it highlights a clear, logical, and socially beneficial reason—improved safety and reduced fatalities—which directly relates to the purpose of the rule. Argument II is weak because while it mentions individual freedom, the argument does not outweigh the concern of public safety, nor does it present a significant reason against the rule beyond personal inconvenience.
