Statement and Argument - Verbal and Reasoning

Q1:

Statement: Is paying ransom or agreeing to the conditions of kidnappers of political figures, a proper course of action? Arguments:

  2. No. It encourages the kidnappers to continue their sinister activities.

A Only argument I is strong

B Only argument II is strong

C Either I or II is strong

D Neither I nor II is strong

E Both I and II are strong

ANS:E - Both I and II are strong

Explanation: Both the arguments are strong enough. The conditions have to be agreed to, in order to save the life of the victims, though actually they ought not to be agreed to, as they encourage the sinister activities of the kidnappers.
