1. Statement: Should legal professionals of India have the right to go on strike?
Arguments:
I. No, India is already facing a backlog of about three crore cases countrywide due to frequent strikes of lawyers. Another strike will only
enhance the grievances of the aggrieved clients.
II. Yes, legal professionals are also a part of our society. If they feel that their dignity, independence and integrity has been lowered,
strike
would
be
the
only
meaningful
weapon
for
them.
Answer:
(a) I is strong because the backlog is a cause for concern. II is not strong because it is difficult to believe that strike is the
only meaningful weapon to achieve the said objective.
2. Statement: Should there be a free phone service for children in distress?
Arguments:
I. Yes, child is the father of man.
II.
No,
this
will
be

misused

by

children.

Answer:
(d) I is not strong because it is not directly related to our core issue. II is also not strong because this is based on a wrong
notion.
3. Statement: Should citizens of India have the right to access information from the government?
Arguments:
I. Yes, more than twenty countries have equipped their citizens with the right to access information from their respective governments.
II. Yes, the move would provide openness in government functioning and ensure transparency and accountability in it.
Answer:
(b) I is not strong because we cant correlate the facilities provided to the citizens of other countries with the facilities
provided to Indian citizens. II is strong because this is will ensure smooth functioning of the government.
4. Statement: Should a rapist be sentenced to life imprisonment in India?
Arguments:
I. Yes, there is an enormous increase in incidence of rape and crime against women all over India and the existing provisions for
punishment are not so stringent that the cases of rapes can be reduced.
II. Yes, punishment for rape should be more than that for murder as the rape victim suffers for her entire life.
Answer:
(e) I is strong because stringent punishment is a good course of action to put restriction on the number of cases of rapes. II is
also strong on the ground of impact of the crime on the life of the victim.
5. Statement: Should proliferation of credit cards in the country be restricted?
Arguments:
I. Yes, the facility provided through it makes a person spendthrift.
II.
No,
the
facility
provided
through
it

makes

the

cardholder

high-tech.

Answer:
(d) Both the argument focus on trivial aspects. Hence, both I and II are weak arguments.
Directions (Q. 6-10): In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong
arguments and weak arguments insofar as they relate to the question. Strong arguments are those which are both
important and directly related to the question. Weak arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not
be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question.
Each question below is 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. Give answer
(a) If only argument I is strong.
(b) If only argument II is strong.
(c) If either I or II is strong.
(d) If neither I nor II is strong.
(e) If both I and II are strong.
6. Statement: Should Anti-piracy Bill be brought in the Parliament?
Arguments:
I. Yes, This will help the film industry to fight against piracy as a result of which the industry will be financially strong.
II.
No,
We
have
already
provisions
such
as
Copyright
laws
etc
to
fight
against

piracy.

Answer:
(a) Only I is strong. II is not strong because we do not know whether the existing provisions are sufficient or not.
7. Statement: Should Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) be entitled to dual citizenship?
Arguments:
I. Yes, This will bolster the intimacy of the NRIs with the Indian soil.
II. No, The move will not be fruitful for all NRIs because there is lack of provisions for dual citizenship in many countries.
Answer:
(a) I is not strong because intimacy of NRIs with Indian soil will be helpful for Indian economy. II is a weak argument because
a move cant be restricted only because the move is not giving benefit to all of a kind.
8. Statement: Should reputed private driver training schools be allowed to issue driving licences?
Arguments:
I. Yes, This will enable more and more people to get driving licences.
II. No, This will increase the congestion of the vehicles on the road and will

result

in

traffic

jams

too.

Answer:
(d) I is weak because it is not desirable. Moreover, is falsely assumes that govt authorities cant cope with the demand of
driving sciences. II is weak because it is not logical. It wrongly assumes that such a move will lead to a spurt in the number of
vehicles.
9. Statement: Should a trouble-born state like Jammu & Kashmir release separatist leaders without any condition?
Arguments:
I. Yes, Release of separatist leaders will be useful as a goodwill gesture to make the situation peaceful in the state.
II. No, Unconditional release of the separatist leaders will aggravate the existing situation because these leaders have not shown any
flexibility
in
their
views.
Answer:
(c) I is strong because it will encourage non-violence and will make the environment conducive for peace. II is also strong
because effort from early one side will not necessarily usher in desirable result. But the state cant be both more and less
peaceful at the same time. Hence either I or II follows.
10. Statement: Should power theft be made a cognizable offence?
Arguments:
I. Yes, People do not use power honestly.
II. No, This will be a wise decision and will reduce anti-social activities in society.
Answer:
(d) Both I and II are weak arguments.
