Question

A statement is given followed by two arguments. Decide which of the arguments is/are strong with respect to the statement.
Statement:
Oils should be totally removed from our diet.
Arguments:
I. Yes, removing oils from our diet will keep the budget in check.
II. No, some types of oils are essential for us as our body cannot produce them on its own.

A.

Only argument I is strong.

B.

Neither argument I nor II is strong.

C.

Both arguments I and II are strong.

D.

Only argument II is strong.

Correct option is D

Statement, "Oils should be totally removed from our diet."
Argument I: "Yes, removing oils from our diet will keep the budget in check."
This argument focuses on cost-saving as the reason for removing oils. While reducing expenses is beneficial, it doesn’t address whether oils are necessary or harmful to health, which is central to the decision about removing them from the diet. Therefore, this is a weak argument in the context of the statement.
Argument II: "No, some types of oils are essential for us as our body cannot produce them on its own."
This argument is strong because it highlights the importance of certain oils, such as essential fatty acids, which the body cannot produce. This directly addresses the health implications of removing oils entirely and provides a reason why oils are necessary in a balanced diet.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is: (d) Only argument II is strong.
