    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: Can pollution be controlled?
    Arguments:  I. Yes. If everyone realizes the hazards it may create and cooperates to get rid of it, pollution may be controlled.
    II. No. The crowded highways, factories and industries and an ever-growing population eager to acquire more and more land for constructing houses are beyond control.

    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: C

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [c] is correct. The control of pollution, on one hand, seems to be impossible because of the ever-growing needs and the disconcert of the people but, on the other hand, the control is possible by a joint effort. So, either of the arguments will hold strong.
