Directions: In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'strong' arguments and 'weak' arguments.* 'Strong' Arguments must be both important and directly related to the question.* 'Weak' Arguments may not be directly related to the question and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspects of the question. Each question below is followed by four arguments numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument?

• Statement:


• Should all the management institutes in the country be brought under government control?

• Arguments:


• I. No, the government does not have adequate resources to run such institutes effectively.


• II. No, each institute should be given the freedom to function on its own.


• III. Yes, this will enable us to have standardised education for all the students.


• IV. Yes, only then the quality of education would be improved.
