Question

Statement: Should the education at all levels be offered only in vernacular medium?
Arguments:
I. Yes. This is the only way to enhance performance of the students.
II. No. This will severely affect acquiring knowledge for want of good text books in vernacular medium.

• A. Only argument I is strong
• B. Only argument II is strong
• C. Either I or II is strong
• D. Neithr I nor II is strong
• E. Both I and II are strong

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Only argument II is strong

Teaching in vernacular medium would surely make it easy for students to grasp. But the use of 'only' of argument I makes if invalid. Also, teaching in international language would open up more avenues for students-in procuring books and study material, in going abroad for studies as well as taking up jobs which require interaction with people of different nationalities. So, argument II holds strong.
