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 banks provide special loans to farmers? Arguments: I. Yes, as with that amount the farmer would be able to afford modern equipment’s which will increase his earnings. II. No, because people may take advantage of this, even those who can afford to pay may not.

No, because people may take advantage of this, even those who can afford to pay may not. Correct Answer Only argument I is strong

Option 1 would be the correct solution as argument I is directly related to the statement given and shows much importance than argument II. Argument I talks about the importance of providing specials loans with either less interest or other benefits to the farmers which will help them in many ways one being that they can afford buying equipment’s which will help them increase their earnings. Argument II doesn’t talk only about farmers thus is not related to the statement.
