1. Ans. (b) clearly, imposing ban on fashionable dresses will be a restriction on the personal choice and hence the right to freedom of an individual. So, only argument II is strong.
2. Ans. (b) clearly, cottage industries need to be promoted to create more job opportunities for rural people in the villages themselves. The reason that rural people are creative is vague. So, only argument Il holds.
3. Ans. (a) clearly, such words on cigarette packs would warn the smokers beforehand of its adverse effects. So, argument I holds strong. However, smoking is a bad habit with' long-term health hazards and is no means of enjoyment. So, argument II is vague.
4. Ans. (e) both the arguments are strong enough. The conditions have to be agreed to, in order to save the life of the victims, though actually they ought not to be agreed to, as they encourage the sinister activities of the kidnappers.
5. Ans. (a) clearly, 15 year old vehicles are not Euro-compliant and hence cause much more pollution than the recent ones. So, argument I holds. Argument II is vague since owners of these vehicles need not shift themselves. They might sell off their vehicles and buy new ones — a small price which every citizen can afford for a healthy environment.
6. Ans. (d) Taking care of the parents is a moral duty of the children and cannot be thrust upon them legally, nor can such a compulsion ensure good care of the old people. So, none of the arguments holds strong.
7. Ans. (d) our country cannot support USA's policies blindly without analysis, just to gain monetary help. Also, we should not withdraw our support without considering the policies, just because some other nations have done so. So, none of the arguments holds strong.
8. Ans. (a) clearly, health of the citizens is an issue of major concern for the Government. So, a product like drugs must be first studied and tested in the Indian context before giving license for its sale. So, only argument I holds strong.
9. Ans. (a) clearly, the advertisements are the means to introduce people with the product and its advantages. So, argument I holds strong. But argument II is vague because advertisements are an investment for better gain and not wastage.
10. Ans. (b) clearly, delinking jobs with degrees will diminish the need for higher education as many of them pursue such education for jobs. So, only argument II is strong.
(a) If only argument I is strong;
(b) If only argument II is strong;
(c) If either I or II is strong;
