Question

Statement: Can pollution be controlled?
Arguments:
I. Yes. If everyone realizes the hazards it may create and cooperates to get rid of it, pollution may be controlled.
II. No. The crowed highways, factories and industries and an ever-growing population eager to acquire more and more land for constructing houses are beyond control.

• A. Only argument I is strong
• B. Only argument II is strong
• C. Either I or II is strong
• D. Neither I nor II is strong
• E. Both I and Ii are strong

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Either I or II is strong

The control of pollution, on one hand, seems to be impossible because of the ever-growing needs and the disconcern of the people but, on the other hand, the control is possible by a joint effort. So, either of the arguments will hold strong.
