You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument?

  • I. No, big cities in India do not have adequate open land plots to accommodate the growing population.

  • II. Yes, only the builders and developers benefit from the construction of high-rise buildings.

  • III. Yes, the government should first provide adequate infrastructural facilities to the existing buildings before allowing the construction of new high-rise buildings.

B .  only III is strong
C .   I and III are strong
D .  Only I is strong
E .  None of the above
