Question

A statement is given, followed by two arguments, I and II. Carefully study the statement and arguments, and select the appropriate answer from the given options.
Statement:
A decision has been made to impose heavy fines on residents of apartment complexes who do not separate dry and wet waste.
Arguments:
I. The government has made it mandatory for all homeowners to separate dry and wet waste.
II. To facilitate waste segregation, separate bins for dry and wet waste have been provided in all apartments.

A.

Argument I does not support the statement, while Argument II supports the statement.

B.

Both Argument I and Argument II do not support the statement.

C.

Both Argument I and Argument II support the statement.

D.

Argument II does not support the statement, while Argument I supports the statement.

Correct option is C

  • Argument I is strong because it provides a legal or regulatory reason for imposing fines: the government mandate. If the government has made it compulsory to separate waste, it justifies the imposition of fines for non-compliance.

  • Argument II is also strong as it addresses the practicality of the decision. Providing separate bins makes it easier for residents to comply with waste segregation, supporting the imposition of fines since facilities have been made available.

Therefore, both arguments strengthen the decision to impose fines, as they cover both the legal requirement and the provision of necessary resources for compliance.
