Statement:

Argument:

।. Yes, through this method only students can stop the aggressive behavior of the organizations.

II. No, it will deprive the students of their democratic rights.

1. Only Argument II is Strong
2. Neither I nor II is strong
3. Both I and II are strong
4. Only Argument I is Strong

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only Argument II is Strong

The given statement asks whether student organizations should be banned or not.

• Argument I suggests that students and organizations are two separate entities.
• It claims that banning is the only way to put a stop to the aggression of the organizations.
• However, there is a cause for every problem. There must be a reason behind the aggression of student organisations.
• Addressing the concerns of the organization would be one of the ways as well as a good choice instead of taking an extreme step like banning them.Therefore, argument I is not strong.
• Argument II is strong because it is a democratic right of the students to form organizations and banning them will be against these rights. Thus, only argument II is strong.

So, the correct answer is option 1.
