You have to decide which of the arguments is/are 'strong' arguments) and which is/are 'weak' arguments) and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question.
Q1:

Statement: Should the government ban all forms of protests including strikes and processions? Arguments:
  1. Yes. This is the only way to teach discipline to the employees.
  2. No. Government cannot deprive its citizens of their basic rights.
  3. Yes. This is the only way to ensure maximum productivity without disruption of work.

A None is strong

B Only I and II are strong

C Only II and III are strong

D Only I and III are strong

E All are strong

ANS:C - Only II and III are strong

Explanation: Clearly, strike is not a means of indiscipline but only a practice in which the workers exercise their fundamental right to voice their protest against the atrocities of the management. So, argument I is vague while II holds. Also, the option of resorting to strikes often aggravates petty issues and disrupts work for long periods, thus affecting productivity. So, III also holds strong.
