A statement is followed by two arguments. Decide which of the arguments is / are strong with respect to the statement. Statement: Should government run campaigns to create mass awareness to use fuel responsibly Arguments: I. Yes, awareness is needed about the amount of natural resources used to generate electricity. This will create a sense of responsibility in the citizens. II. No, urbanisation has made people get used to comforts. It is very difficult to educate the massand from discipline.?

Option 3 : Only argument I is strong

The first argument says that awareness will help people understand the need to use fuel judiciously as fuel production adds pressure on natural resources. Thus, it will help the cause of responsible usage of fuel.

Therefore, argument I is strong.

Argument II says that educating the masses is ‘difficult’ because they are accustomed to a comfortable life. But this need not mean that the task is impossible.

Therefore, argument II fails to give a strong reason to reject the idea of generating awareness through campaigns.

Hence, only argument II is strong.
