Abridging a book can make it worse than it's original form and reading inaccurate content is worse than completing the book faster.
Hence only second argument is correct

B is the correct option. If there is a uniform schooling system in western countries we can not assume that the same would work for our country. Also rural and urban areas require different approaches due to various socio-economic difference.

The first statement is strong enough as private colleges are known for their quality. To maintain this, they need to charge higher fees. The second statement is not strong enough as the fees of private colleges, if brought down, may bring down the quality. Meritorious students can always be given scholarships, etc.

The benefit of producing a movie lies in the fact that the film earns money along with creative appreciation. These two things are only possible if the viewers watch these movies. The best means to attract viewers is through promotions where the movies are officially introduced allowing the viewers to analyze whether a particular movie is worth meeting their expectations. Hence, argument A strongly justifies the given statement. Argument B which talks about the wastage of money through promotions is quite weak because promotions are investments so that the gain at the end can be better. It is no way can it be considered as ‘only’ wastage of money. Hence, 1 is the correct answer.

Argument 1 - A country can't follow any other country decision Blindly. May be that country have enough surgeons. So this argument is weak.
Argument 2 - Foreign surgeons use Many high tech surgical instruments. Indian surgeons can work without those instruments easily. Another problem is communication during surgery. So this argument is strong.

I is strong because an obsession with such contents creates a bad impact on their impressionable minds.
II is strong because in today's age one can't afford to lose access to information
Hence, option e is the correct answer.

Argument Analysis:
Argument I:
- This argument suggests that instead of a total ban on plastic bags, the focus should be on specifying the thickness of plastic bags that can be used without causing significant harm to the environment.
- This argument acknowledges the practical use of plastic bags but emphasizes the need for regulation to minimize environmental damage.
Argument II:
- This argument advocates for a total ban on plastic bags due to the various problems they cause, such as water pollution and water-logging.
- It highlights the negative impact of plastic bags on the environment and argues for a drastic measure to address these issues.
Evaluation:
- Both arguments present valid points regarding the use of plastic bags and its impact on the environment.
- Argument I focuses on regulation and control, suggesting a nuanced approach to address the issue.
- Argument II takes a more drastic stance, calling for a complete ban to tackle the environmental problems caused by plastic bags.
- Considering the severity of environmental issues associated with plastic bags, a combination of regulation and prohibition might be the most effective solution.
Therefore, both arguments I and II are strong as they offer different perspectives on how to address the problem of plastic bag usage, with each argument providing valid reasoning for its position.

Strong argument and which is a weak argument.
1. Should smoking be banned in all public places?
I. Strong argument: Smoking is a major cause of health problems, and non-smokers should not be subjected to the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.
II. Weak argument: Banning smoking in public places infringes on the rights of smokers to enjoy their habit.
Strong argument: Argument I presents a valid and compelling reason for banning smoking in public places, as it focuses on the health risks associated with second-hand smoke. Argument II, on the other hand, is a weak argument as it is based on the assumption that smokers have a right to smoke in public places, which is not a universally accepted premise.

Strong argument and which is a weak argument.
1. Should smoking be banned in all public places?
I. Strong argument: Smoking is harmful not only to the smoker but also to the people around them. Therefore, it is necessary to ban smoking in all public places to protect the health of non-smokers.
II. Weak argument: Smoking is a personal choice and banning it in public places would infringe on the rights of smokers. People should be allowed to smoke in designated areas.
Answer: Strong argument: I is a strong argument because it is based on the health risks associated with smoking and the need to protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke. II is a weak argument because it fails to address the health risks associated with smoking and focuses only on the rights of smokers.
2. Should schools require students to wear uniforms?
I. Strong argument: Uniforms promote a sense of unity and equality among students. They also reduce the pressure on students to wear expensive or trendy clothing, which can create a sense of competition and division between students.
II. Weak argument: Uniforms are boring and restrictive. Students should be allowed to express their individuality through their clothing choices.
Answer: Strong argument: I is a strong argument because it highlights the benefits of uniforms in promoting a sense of unity and equality among students, as well as reducing pressure on students to conform to certain fashion trends. II is a weak argument because it focuses only on the potential drawbacks of uniforms without considering their benefits.

Understanding the Arguments
In the question of whether students from government-run colleges should repay their education costs upon settling abroad, we analyze two arguments presented.
Argument I: Strong Argument
- The first argument states that students benefiting from government-funded education should be discouraged from leaving the country.
- This perspective emphasizes the importance of retaining skilled individuals within the nation to contribute to its growth and development.
- It is a strong argument because it addresses the broader implications of public investment in education and the expectations tied to such funding.
Argument II: Weak Argument
- The second argument posits that every citizen has the right to choose where to work or study, deeming the repayment condition unjustified.
- While this argument touches on individual rights, it lacks a direct relation to the core issue of public funding and societal responsibility.
- It does not adequately consider the implications of public expenditure and the reciprocal responsibilities that come with it.
Conclusion
- In summary, Argument I is deemed strong as it directly relates to the larger societal impact of government-funded education, while Argument II is weak because it focuses on individual rights without addressing the communal aspect of public investment.
- Therefore, the correct choice is option D, identifying only Argument I as a strong argument.

- In summary, Argument I is deemed strong as it directly relates to the larger societal impact of government-funded education, while Argument II is weak because it focuses on individual rights without addressing the communal aspect of public investment.
- Therefore, the correct choice is option D, identifying only Argument I as a strong argument.

Understanding the Arguments
When evaluating the arguments regarding whether there should be only two political parties in India, it's essential to analyze the strength of each argument presented.
Argument I: Yes, in many developed countries there are only two political parties.
- This argument suggests that the presence of two political parties is a standard in developed nations.
- However, it fails to consider the unique socio-political context of India.
- Just because a system works in some countries does not mean it will work effectively in another.
- Therefore, this argument is weak as it lacks a tailored rationale for India’s situation.
Argument II: No, Indian electorate is not mature to select between only two political parties.
- This argument posits that the Indian electorate may not have the maturity required to choose between only two options effectively.
- While it raises a crucial point regarding the political awareness and engagement of the electorate, it also lacks constructive evidence.
- It does not provide clarity on what "maturity" means or how it directly impacts the choice between two parties.
- Thus, it is also a weak argument.
Conclusion: Analysis of Strength
- Both arguments presented do not adequately support their claims.
- Argument I does not consider India's unique political landscape, and Argument II does not substantiate its assertion about the electorate's maturity.
- Hence, the correct answer is option **D**: neither argument I nor II is strong.
This evaluation illustrates that both arguments lack the necessary depth and relevance to be considered strong in the context of the question posed.

Young people, who do not get employment due to the large number of applicants in all fields, must surely be given allowance so that they can support themselves. So, argument I is valid. However, such allowances would mar the spirit to work, in them and make them idle. So, argument II also holds.

Clearly, every person must be free to work wherever he wants and no compulsion should be made to confine one to one's own country. So, argument I is vague. However, talented scientists can be of great benefit to the nation and some alternatives as special incentives or better prospects may be made available to them to retain them within their motherland. So, argument II also does not hold.
