Study the statement given below and select which argument(s) is/are stronger with respect to the statement- Question: Should there be a complete ban on hunting of lions? Argument : 1. Yes, it takes a lot of money to hunt lions. 2. No, there is no benefit in banning lion hunting. Correct Answer Neither 1 is strong nor 2 is strong

The question simply asks whether hunting of lions should be banned.

  • Argument 1 states that hunting of lions should be banned because it requires a lot of money. It is not logically correct, because it cannot be determined if the fact is true and more importantly, it is not a fair justification to ban hunting. Thus, argument 1 is not strong.
  • Argument 2 does not give a reason as to why hunting of lions should not be banned. Thus, it is not making any point to be strong.

Hence the correct answer is option 4.
