Question 16

The following question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. Choose the best option.

Statement: Should the cottage industry be shifted to urban cities from villages?
Argument I: No, the rural population will die of hunger.
Argument II: Yes, rural people will be encouraged to adopt farming as their livelihood.

Argument I is strong

Argument II is strong

Argument I & II are invalid.

Only II is invalid

Solution

The question under scrutiny: [Should the cottage industry be shifted to urban cities from villages?]

Argument I: This argument suggests that if the cottage industry is shifted to urban cities from villages, the rural population will die of hunger. However, this argument assumes that the cottage industry is the sole source of livelihood for the rural population, which may not be the case. There could be other means of income and employment in rural areas, such as agriculture, animal husbandry, or other industries. Therefore, Argument I is not strong.

Argument II: This argument implies that if the cottage industry is shifted to urban cities from villages, it would encourage rural people to adopt farming as their primary livelihood. Assuming that shifting the cottage industry will automatically encourage everyone to adopt farming is an oversimplification. Therefore, argument II is also not strong.

Based on the analysis, both arguments I and II are not strong - they do not help answer the given question. Hence, Option C is the correct choice
