Q1:

Statement: Can pollution be controlled? Arguments:
  1. Yes. If everyone realizes the hazards it may create and cooperates to get rid of it, pollution may be controlled.
  2. No. The crowded highways, factories and industries and an ever-growing population eager to acquire more and more land for constructing houses are beyond control.

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:C - Either I or II is strong

Explanation: The control of pollution, on one hand, seems to be impossible because of the ever-growing needs and the disconcern of the people but, on the other hand, the control is possible by a joint effort. So, either of the arguments will hold strong.
