Q1:

Statement: Should trade unions be banned completely? Arguments:

A Only I is strong

B Only II is strong

C Only I and II are strong

D Only I, II and III are strong

E None of these

ANS:B - Only II is strong

Explanation: Clearly, trade unions provide a common platform for the workers to voice their demands and protests and thus ensure that they are not subdued or exploited. So, argument II holds strong, while I and III do not. Besides, the idea of imitation of other countries in the implementation of a certain policy holds no relevance. So, argument IV also does not hold strong.
