In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ‘strong’ arguments and ‘weak’ arguments. ‘Strong’ arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. ‘Weak’ arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The questions below if 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: Should rotation cropping system be cultivated by all farmers? Arguments: I. Yes, as crop rotation helps in reduction of nematodes, weeds and diseases. II. No, as it requires more equipment for planting of different types of seeds. Correct Answer Either I or II is strong Option 5 would be the correct solution as either argument I or II can be considered to be strong. Argument I talks about the advantage if crop rotation is being used, it reduces nematodes, weeds and prevents several diseases. But the farmer has to have a lot of money so that he can afford buying different equipment’s required if he wants to cultivate this plan. Thus both the arguments show that they are important and are directly related to the statement. Hence either I or II can be strong.
