Statement: Should the railways in India be privatized in a phased manner like other public sector enterprises ? Arguments: (I) Yes. This is the only way to bring in competitiveness and provide better services to the public. (II) No. this will pause a threat to the national security of our country as multinationals will enter into the fray. |

Answer: Option D Explanation: Privatization would no doubt lead to better services. But saying that this is the 'only way' is wrong. So, argument I does not hold. Argument II also seems to be vague. |
Study the following instructions carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
In making decisions about important questions it is desirable that a candidate is able to distinguish between 'strong' and 'weak' arguments so far as they relate to the questions.
'Weak' arguments may not be directly related to the questions and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspect of the question.
Each question below is followed by two arguments I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.
Give Answer

(c) Either I or II is strong
(d) Neither I nor II is strong
(e) Both I and II are strong
