- None is strong
- Only I, II and III are strong
- Only I and III are strong
- All are strong
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Only I and III are strong
I is strong: the government lacking resources to run the institutes is a real practical objection. III is strong: government control would give standardised education. II is a sweeping generalisation and IV uses the extreme 'only then', so both are weak. Answer: only I and III.
