- 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 (calling it 'the only way' is an overstatement; other measures exist). II is weak (what other countries do is irrelevant; China did have a one-child policy). Neither is strong.
