Question 36

The following question consists of a statement and argument I and II. Choose the best option.
Statement: Should smoking be prohibited.
Argument I: Yes, it is wrong to smoke away millions of money.
Argument II: No, it will throw thousands of workers in tobacco industry out of employment.

Solution

Argument 1 : Smoking should be prohibited primarily because of the hazardous effects of it toward our health and environment. Although prohibiting smoking will save people a lot of money but this can't be the basis for banning smoking, hence this argument will be considered as an weak argument.

Argument 2 : Smoking is a billion dollar industry and lot of people are employed in this industry. Surely, banning smoking will have an adverse effect on all those people who are employed in the industry, hence this can be considered as an strong argument.

Option B is the right answer
