    Question

    Statement: Should electric vehicles (EVs) be

    made mandatory for all new vehicle purchases in urban areas? Arguments: I. Yes, because electric vehicles reduce air pollution and help combat climate change. II. No, because the current charging infrastructure is inadequate, and mandating EVs could inconvenience consumers.
    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 positive and relevant impact—EVs reduce pollution and help tackle environmental concerns, which directly supports the idea behind the policy. Argument II is also strong as it points out a practical limitation. If infrastructure is lacking, a mandate could create difficulties for consumers, making the implementation ineffective or burdensome.
