  • question_answer
    Directions: Each question given below consists of a statement followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments a ?strong? argument is and which a ?weak? argument is.
    Statement: Should internal assessment in colleges be abolished?
    Arguments:  I. Yes. This will help in reducing the possibility of favoritism.
    II. No, teaching faculty will lose control over students.

    A) Only argument I is strong     

    B) Only argument II is strong

    C) Either I or II is strong              

    D) Neither I nor II is strong

    E) Both I and II are strong

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [a] is correct. Abolishing the internal assessment would surely reduce favoritism on personal grounds because the teachers would not be involved in examination system so that they cannot extend personal benefits to anyone. So, argument I holds strong. But it will not affect the control of teaching faculty on students because still the teachers would be teaching them. So, argument II is vague.
