Should India increase investment in space exploration? Arguments: I. Yes, it enhances technological capabilities and global standing. II. No, the funds should be prioritized for poverty alleviation and education. Decide which argument is strong.
Only I is strong
Only II is strong
Both I and II are strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong
In argument questions, test if the argument is both 'relevant' and 'significant'; if two opposing viewpoints are both valid public concerns, then both are considered strong.

Analyze Argument I
Argument I states that space exploration enhances technological capabilities and global standing. This is a strong argument as technological advancement is a recognized driver of national progress and international prestige.
Analyze Argument II
Argument II states that funds should be prioritized for poverty alleviation and education. This is a strong argument as it addresses core socio-economic needs that are essential for the fundamental development of a nation's population.
Evaluate Combined Strength
Since both arguments address legitimate and significant national priorities (scientific progress vs. social welfare) without being illogical or inherently false, both arguments are considered strong.
A: Incorrect because it ignores the validity of Argument II. B: Incorrect because it ignores the validity of Argument I. D: Incorrect because both arguments are logically sound and highly relevant to public policy debate.
C is correct because both arguments represent valid and significant perspectives that are frequently debated in public policy, making them both strong.
For Argument questions, always ask: Is the statement a common, logical, and significant concern for the country? If yes, it is likely a strong argument.
