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 ban export of all types of food grains for the next one year to tide over the unprotected drought situation in the the country ?
Arguments :
I. Yes, this is the only way to provide food to its citizen during the year.
II. No, the Government does not have its jurisdiction over private exporters for banning exporters.
III. Yes, the Government should not allow the exporters to export food grains and procure all the food grains held by such exporters and make it available for home consumption.
Argument I is weak because of the word only used, II is also weak as it is not related directly to the question, but argument III is strong as the Government should not allow the exporters to export food grains and procure all the food grains held by such exporters and make it available for home consumption.
Thus, only III is strong.
