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 is 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 all vaccines be made free? Arguments: I. Yes. There are many deadly diseases and lower classes of society cannot afford getting vaccinated. II. No. Many vaccines are quite costly. Subsidising them is enough.

Subsidising them is enough. Correct Answer <p>Both arguments I and II are strong</p> <p> </p>
For lower classes of society to be able to afford vaccines both the arguments are true. Government can subsidise costly vaccines and give cheaper vaccines for free. Thus, both arguments are good arguments.
