Question

A statement is given followed by two arguments. Decide which of the arguments is/are strong with respect to the statement.
Statement:
Everyone should read newspaper daily.
Arguments:
I: Yes, because it will help knowing about what is happening around and increasing general awareness.
II: No, because not everyone prepares for competitive exams.

A.

Neither I nor II is strong.

B.

Only Argument I is strong.

C.

Only Argument II is strong.

D.

Both I and II are strong.

Correct option is B

Statement:
Everyone should read newspaper daily.
Argument I: Yes, because it will help knowing about what is happening around and increasing general awareness.
Analysis:
This is a strong argument because it provides a logical and valid reason. Increasing general awareness is a direct benefit of reading newspapers, and it aligns with the purpose of the statement.
Argument II: No, because not everyone prepares for competitive exams.
Analysis:
This argument is weak. The purpose of reading newspapers isn't limited to preparing for competitive exams. The argument makes a narrow assumption and fails to address the broader benefits of reading newspapers.
Argument I is strong, as it provides a valid and logical reason.
Argument II is weak, as it is irrelevant to the general purpose of reading newspapers.
Thus, the correct option is (b) (Only Argument I is strong).
