Question: Should schools engage students in the task of cleaning the schools?

Argument 1: Yes, schools should exercise their control and power over students.

Argument 2: No. This will affect the time allotted for the academic study of the students.

1. Only argument 1 is strong.
2. Only argument 2 is strong.
3. Either argument 1 or argument 2 is strong.
4. Both arguments 1 and 2 are not strong.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Only argument 2 is strong.

Argument 1 is not strong as cleaning the schools is not an essential part of the exercise. If the school wants the students to exercise there are other ways which the school must focus on.

Argument 2 is strong as cleaning the schools will affect the time allotted for the academic study of the students.

Hence, only argument 2 is strong.
