Question

Statement : Should adult education programme be given priority over compulsory education programme ?
Arguments :
I. No. It will also help in success of compulsory education programme.
II. Yes. It will help to eliminate the adult illiteracy.

• 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: (B)

Only argument II is strong

Clearly, argument I gives a reason in support of the statement and so it does not hold strong against it. The adult education programme needs to be given priority because it shall eliminate adult illiteracy and thus help in further spread of education. So, only argument II is strong enough.
