The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Only argument 'I' is strong.
Statement ‘I’ is strong as writers can change one’s thinking and can shape a person’s thoughts and beliefs. Statement ‘II’ is vague as the given statement is in the context of molding one’s thoughts and ideas and not winning a battle by physical force.
