Should the government ban all plastic packaging for food products? Arguments: I. Yes, it is essential for environmental conservation. II. No, it is not economically viable for small-scale food vendors. 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
A strong argument addresses a valid public interest (Environment) or a significant practical/economic constraint (Small-scale survival), provided it does not contain logical fallacies.

Analyze Argument I
Environmental conservation is a widely accepted, critical public concern. Arguments supporting bans based on environmental impact are considered strong as they address a significant social and ecological necessity.
Analyze Argument II
Economic viability for small-scale vendors is a practical constraint. Since a blanket ban would directly impact the livelihood of thousands of small vendors who rely on cheap plastic packaging, this is a strong, relevant counter-argument regarding the feasibility of the policy.
A is wrong because it ignores the economic reality of the vendors. B is wrong because it ignores the environmental necessity. D is wrong because both arguments address valid, significant points relevant to the proposed action.
C is correct because both arguments present valid, non-fallacious viewpoints regarding the environmental benefits and the economic consequences of the proposed policy.
In 'Statement and Argument' questions, always check if the argument directly touches upon a major social, economic, or environmental pillar; if it does, it is usually considered strong unless it is vague or absurd.
