Q1:

Statement: Should "literacy" be the minimum criterion for becoming a voter in India? Arguments:

A None is strong

B Only I and II are strong

C Only III is strong

D Only II and III are strong

E All are strong

ANS:E - All are strong

Explanation: Clearly, illiterate people lack will power and maturity in thoughts. They may easily be misled into false convictions or lured into temptations to vote for a particular group. So, argument II holds. However, a person is literate does not mean that he is conscious of all political movements, which requires practical awareness of everyday events. Thus, I also holds strong. Besides, Constitution has extended the right to vote equally to all its citizens. Hence, III also holds.
