In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ‘strong’ arguments and ‘weak’ arguments. ‘Strong’ arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. ‘Weak’ arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The questions below if followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments a ‘strong’ argument is and which a ‘weak’ argument is. Statement: Should women be given equal employment opportunities as men? Arguments: I. Yes, because they are equally talented as men and can fit into any position. II. No, because men are always one step ahead of women which makes them superior.

No, because men are always one step ahead of women which makes them superior. Correct Answer Only argument I is strong
Option 1 would be the correct solution for the given statement. As the statement talks about if women should be given same opportunities as men, argument I gives the reason as women now a days tend to excel in all the fields as same as men thus they should be given equal employment opportunities as well. A person should be hired on the basis of their talent and qualifications instead of their gender. Argument II doesn’t make sense thus it is considered to be weak.
