Question

Statement: Should there be a total ban on use of plastic bags?

Arguments:

I. No, instead the thickness of plastic bags, which can be used without much damage to the environment, should be specified.

II. Yes, use of plastic bags causes various problems like water pollution and water logging and hence, it is necessary to ban it.

• A. If only Argument I is strong
• B. If either I or II is strong
• C. If neither I nor II is strong
• D. If both I and II are strong

Answer 1

The correct option is D

If both I and II are strong

Argument I is strong as it takes a wise, reconciliatory approach to the problem. Argument II is also strong as water pollution, etc. may severally harm mankind.
