Question and options

Statement: Should new big industries be started in Mumbai?
Arguments :
I. Yes. It will create job opportunities for many people.
II. No. Mumbai already has some big industries.
  1. Only argument I is strong
  2. Only argument II is strong
  3. Either I or II is strong
  4. Neither I nor II is strong

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Only argument I is strong
An argument is strong when it gives an important reason directly related to the question. Argument I does: new industries would create jobs, a real benefit that bears on whether they should be started. Argument II only states that some big industries already exist, without saying why more would do harm, so it is weak. Only argument I is strong; the two are not alternatives, so the either-or answer does not fit, and because I is strong, the answer rejecting both fails.
