In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between "strong" arguments and "weak" arguments. "Strong" arguments must be both important and directly related to the question. "Weak" arguments may not be directly related to the question and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspects of the question.
Each question below is followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the argument(s) is/are "strong". I.
Should the Government order closure of all educational institutions for a month to avoid fast spreading of the contagious viral infection ?
Arguments :
I. No, closure of educational institution alone is not the solution for curbing spread of viral infection.
II. No, students will visit crowded places like malls, markets, playgrounds etc. in more numbers and spread the disease, as they will have lot of spare time at their disposal.
III. Yes, young persons are more prone to get affected by the viral infection and hence they should remain indoors.
Argument I is strong because other steps should also be taken apart from closing educational institution, but II is not strong because to close the school, one cannot stop infections and virals. Argument III is also strong because young persons are more prone to get affected by the viral infection and hence they should remain indoors.
Thus, only I and III are strong.
