Question
In the question below, an argument is given, followed
by three statements that either strengthen or weaken the given argument. From the options, choose the one that presents the correct relationship each statement bears with the given argument. Note:- 'S' stands for strengthening statement, and 'W' stands for weakening statement. Argument: A city administration has proposed the construction of an eight-lane expressway to reduce traffic congestion and improve connectivity between urban and suburban areas. Environmentalists, however, argue that the project will lead to massive deforestation, noise pollution, and loss of wildlife habitats. Statements: I. The expressway will pass through a forest area that serves as a corridor for elephants and other endangered species. II. The project includes a plan to plant twice as many trees as will be cut down during construction. III. The expressway is expected to reduce daily commuting time for thousands of workers by 40%.Solution
The argument claims that the expressway will harm the environment. Statement I supports this claim, as it highlights that the expressway cuts through a wildlife corridor. Statement II weakens the argument since replanting trees could mitigate environmental damage. Statement III also weakens the argument because it presents an economic and social benefit of the project.
