IBPS SO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 18

Directions: In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ‘strong’ arguments and ‘weak’ arguments. ‘Strong’ arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. ‘Weak’ arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments a ‘strong’ argument is and which a ‘weak’ argument is.

Statement: Should children be exposed to violent video games?

Arguments:

I. Yes. Children can distract themselves from the stress of studies.

II. No. It makes them over aggressive and arrogant.

Detailed Solution for IBPS SO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 18
Studies have found that kids who play violent video games end up being over-aggressive. So such games should be discouraged among the kids, hence, argument II is strong. Also if a kid wants to relieve the stress, he or she can play outdoor games, listen to music or do anything else. The point is that there are many more alternatives, Hence argument I is not strong.

Hence, only argument II is strong.

Hence the correct option is (B).
