Question

Statement: Should government stop spending huge amounts of money on international sports?
Arguments:
I. Yes. This money can be utilized for upliftment of the poor.
II. No. Sports persons will be frustrated and will not get international exposure.

• 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

The correct option is B Only argument II is strong

Clearly, spending money on sports cannot be avoided merely because it can spent on socio-economic problems. So, argument I does not hold. Also, if the expenses on sports are curtailed, the sports persons would face lack of facilities and training and our country will lag behind in the international sports competitions. So, II holds.
