followed by three or four arguments numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are 'strong' arguments) and which is/are 'weak' arguments) and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: Should mobile phones be completely banned for students inside school premises? Arguments: I. Yes. Mobile phones distract students from studies and affect their academic performance. II. No. Mobile phones help students stay updated with technology, which is essential in modern education. III. Yes. Mobile phones encourage misuse such as cheating and accessing inappropriate content. IV. No. Parents need to remain in touch with their children for safety reasons.Solution
Argument I is strong because it directly relates to the core issue—mobile phones causing distraction and lowering academic focus. Argument III is also strong as misuse of phones is a real and relevant concern in school environments. Argument II is weak because schools can provide technology through supervised computer labs; personal phones are not necessary. Argument IV is weak because schools already have systems for communication between parents and children in emergencies; phones are not essential. Thus, only Arguments I and III are strong.
