Question

Question:
Should the Agricultural Research Center advise farmers regarding the choice of crops in their land on the basis of soil quality and crop production?Arguments:
I. Yes. This would help farmers reap a good harvest.
II. No. The farmers, through long experience, know the crops suitable for their land.

• A. Only argument I is strong
• B. Only argument II is strong
• C. Both arguments I and II are strong
• D. Neither argument I nor II is strong

Hint:

When evaluating arguments, consider both the logic of the argument itself and how it complements other supporting points.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Argument I suggests that it would help farmers reap a good harvest, which is a valid argument in favor of the Agricultural Research Center's advice.
Argument II points out that farmers already have experience in choosing crops based on soil quality and crop production, which also supports the idea of their knowledge.
Both arguments together strengthen the case for providing advice to farmers.
