The statement given below is followed by two arguments. You have to decide which argument(s) is/are strong. Statements: Food rich in protein is better than junk food. Arguments: I. Yes, food rich in protein is good for the mental and physical development of children. II. No, junk food is tastier than food rich in protein. Correct Answer Only argument I is strong.

The statement declares that protein-rich food is better than junk food.

  • Argument I agrees with the statement and justifies it by stating the benefits of protein-rich foods. It claims that food rich in proteins is good for overall development in children. Therefore, argument I is strong.
  • Argument II disagrees with the statement by saying that junk food is tastier. But it is not logically or factually correct. Taste is a perceptive quality and is not a valid factor to decide which food is better. So, argument II is not strong.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
