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 all those students who failed in one or two subjects in HSC be allowed to take admission in degree courses and continue their study subject to their successfully passing in the supplementary examination ?
Arguments :
I. Yes, this will help the students to complete their education without a break of one year.
II. Yes, this is a forward looking strategy to help the students and motivate them for higher studies.
II. No, such students do not choose to continue their studies without having passed in all the subjects in HSC.
Argument I is strong because one previous year of students will save. If this move is implemented, then it is possible that students might not concentrate on HSC exams because they think that they will be promoted, whether they pass HSC or not but it will motivate those students who failed in one or two subjects by a small margin. So, either II or III follows.
Thus, only either II or III and I are strong.
