Statement: Should the educated unemployed youth be paid "unemployment allowance" by the Government?


Arguments:



  1. Yes. It will provide them some monetary help to either seek employment or to kick-start some 'self-employment' venture.

  2. No. It will dampen their urge to do something to earn their livelihood and thus promote idleness among the unemployed youth.

Options:
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
Answer: Option E
Young people, who do not get employment due to the large number of applicants in all fields, must surely be given allowance so that they can support themselves. So, argument I is valid. However, such allowances would mar the spirit to work, in them and make them idle. So, argument II also holds.
