• B. If argument II is strong
• C. If either I or II is strong
• D. If neither I nor II is strong
• E. Both I and II are strong

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

If neither I nor II is strong

According to Argument I, healthcare service should be nationalized,as it has been done in somewhere else.This is a weak argument.
Reason: The pros and cons of nationalizing heathcare have to be taken into consideration before making a judgement. Just because heath care has been nationalized somewhere else does not mean that it has to be done everywhere. Imitation model cannot be implemented everywhere. Hence,argument I is weak.
According to Argument II, the quality of health care service will deteriorate if healthcare service is nationalized. This is a weak argument.
Reason: Healthcare services that are nationalized cannot always be attached to poor quality service. There is no substantial proof for it.

Hence, argument II is weak.
Hence,neither I nor II is a strong argument for the given statement.

Option D is correct.
