In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ‘’strong’’ arguments and ‘’weak’’ arguments so far as they are related to the question. ‘’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 two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a ‘’strong’’ argument and which is a ‘’weak’’ arguments. Give your answer as---
