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 the usage of pesticides be reduced in growing crops? Arguments: I. Yes, cause when humans intake them, it causes many harmful effects to the body if the amount of pesticides is more than a level. II. No, as it is used to control various pests and disease carriers.

Correct Answer Only argument I is strong

For the given statement option 1 would be correct as pesticides should be used but not more than a level as it causes harm to humans who intake them. Whereas there are other organic pesticides that can be used to control crops from various pests. Thus argument 1 seems to be strong than the second argument
