1.  Statement : should "literacy" be the minimum criterion for becoming a voter in India ?
Arguments :

I. No. mere literacy is no guarantee of political maturity of an individual.
II. Yes. Illiterate people are less likely to make politically wiser decisions of voting for a right candidate or party.
III. No. Voting is the constitutional right of every citizen.


A. None is strong
B. Only I and II are strong
C. Only III is strong
D. Only II and III are strong
E. All are strong

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

Clearly illiterate people lack will power and maturity in thoughts . They may easily be misled into false convictions or lured into temptations to vote for a particular group. So, argument II holds. However, a person is literate does not mean that he is conscious of all political movements, which requires practical awareness of everyday events. Thus, I also holds strong. Besides, Constitution has extended the right to vote equally to all its citizens. Hence, III also holds.
