A question is given followed by two arguments. Decide which of the arguments is/are strong with respect to the question.
Question: Is boarding school system beneficial to children?
Arguments:
(i) Yes, boarding school system separates children from their homes which is beneficial.
(ii) No, getting separated from parents for long periods of time may damage children’s relationship with them, leaving the children feeling anxious or alone.

Correct option is D

Argument (i): Yes, boarding school system separates children from their homes which is beneficial.
This argument suggests that separation from home is beneficial. However, it lacks specificity about the actual benefits children might gain from this separation. It's vague and doesn't provide concrete evidence to support the claim that separation itself is inherently beneficial.
Argument (ii): No, getting separated from parents for long periods of time may damage children’s relationship with them, leaving the children feeling anxious or alone.
This argument highlights a potential negative impact of the boarding school system, focusing on the emotional consequences of separation. It raises a valid concern about the potential damage to the parent-child relationship and the emotional well-being of the child.
Considering the arguments:
Argument (i) lacks substance in demonstrating the direct benefits of separation, whereas argument (ii) highlights a plausible negative consequence, emphasizing the emotional impact of separation on children.
Therefore, the stronger argument here is (ii) as it addresses a significant concern regarding the potential emotional effects of separation from parents for extended periods, which can have a lasting impact on the child's well-being. Hence, option (d) "Only argument (ii) is strong" is more suitable.
