Question

The following question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered

 I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak'

 argument.

Statement : Should those who receive dowry, despite the law prohibiting it, be punished ?

Arguments : I. Yes. Those who violate the law, must be punished.

                   II. No. Dowry system is firmly rooted in the society since time immemorial.


Options:
A .  If only argument I is strong
B .  If only argument II is strong
C .  If either I or II is strong
D .  If neither I nor II is strong and
E .  If both I and II are strong.
Answer: Option A

Clearly, laws are made to ensure that no person pursues the practice. So, persons

who violate the laws need to be punished. Thus, argument I holds. A wrong practice,

no matter how firmly rooted, needs to be ended. So. argument II is vague.
