Question

A statement is followed by three arguments (I), (II), and (III). Decide which of the following arguments is/are strong argument(s): Statement: Should road repair work in big cities be carried out only at night? Arguments:

• A. No. This way the work will never get completed.
• B. Only (I) and (II) are strong
• C. Only (III) is strong
• D. Only (II) is strong

Hint:

When evaluating arguments, focus on the logic that directly supports or counters the statement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Argument (I) weakens the statement as it suggests the work will never get completed, which is not necessarily true, as repairs can still be done at night.
Argument (II) is strong because it highlights the inconvenience caused to commuters during the day, which supports the need for repairs at night.
Argument (III) talks about the cost of electricity, but this does not provide a strong reason for carrying out repairs only at night.
