Question and options
The question is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments are strong (those which are both important and directly related to the question) and which of the arguments are weak (those which are of minor importance and not directly related to the question).

II. No, uniforms are available only in a few colours.
Arguments:
I. Yes, all schools have uniforms and hence colleges too should have them.
II. No, uniforms are available only in a few colours.
- Only argument I is strong
- Only argument II is strong
- Both arguments I and II are strong
- Neither argument I nor argument II is strong
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Neither argument I nor argument II is strong
I is weak: that schools have uniforms is no reason by itself for colleges, whose students and purposes differ. II is weak: the limited colours of uniforms is a trivial point of minor importance. Neither argument is strong.
