Understanding the Arguments
In evaluating whether all annual examinations up to Std. V should be abolished, we need to analyze the strength of the arguments presented.
Argument I: Strong Argument
- The first argument supports abolishing examinations by stating that:
- Young students should not face the burden of examinations.
- Such pressures can hinder their natural development and growth.
This argument is strong because it emphasizes the psychological and developmental needs of children, advocating for a more supportive learning environment.
Argument II: Strong Argument
- The second argument opposes the abolition of examinations, highlighting:
- If students are granted automatic promotion, they may not take their studies seriously.
- This could have detrimental effects on their future academic performance.
This argument is also strong as it addresses the potential long-term consequences of removing examinations, emphasizing the importance of accountability in education.
Conclusion: Both Arguments Hold Weight
- Both arguments present valid points:
- Argument I focuses on the immediate well-being and growth of young learners.
- Argument II stresses the importance of maintaining educational standards for future success.
Thus, the correct response that both arguments are significant in their perspectives reinforces the idea that educational policies must balance the emotional and developmental needs of students with the necessity of fostering a serious attitude towards learning. Hence, the conclusion that both arguments are strong is justified.

The opinion polls may influence the thinking of an individual and thus divert his mind from his original choice. So, argument I holds strong. Further, blindly imitating a policy followed by other countries, holds no relevance. So, argument II is vague.

Clearly, the luxury hotels are a mark of country's standard and a place for staying for the affluent foreign tourists. So, argument II holds. Argument I is not a strong reason because ban on hotels is not a way to do away with the activities of international criminals.

Clearly, harnessing solar energy will be helpful as it is an inexhaustible resource unlike other resources. So, argument I holds. But argument II is vague as solar energy is the cheapest form of energy.

Clearly, there should be some norms regarding the number of ministers in the Government as more number of ministers would unnecessarily add to the Government expenditure. o, argument II holds strong. Also, giving liberty to the party in power could promote extension of unreasonable favour to some people at the cost of government funds. So, argument I does not hold.

Abolishing the import duty on all goods shall reduce the cost of imported goods and adversely affect the sale of domestic products, thus giving a setback to the Indian electronic industry . So, argument II holds strong. Argument I does not provide a convincing reason.

Clearly, 15 year old vehicles are not Euro - complaint and hence cause much more pollution then the recent ones. So, argument I holds. Argument II is vague since owners of these vehicles need to shift themselves. They might sell of their vehicles and buy new ones - a small price which every citizen can afford for a healthy environment.

Clearly, India can export only the surplus and that which can be saved after fulfilling its own needs, to pay for its imports. Encouragement to export cannot lead to shortages as it shall provide the resources for imports. So, only argument I holds.

Clearly, the proposed scheme would discourage people from keeping deposits for larger duration( the rate of interest being the same for shorter duration) and not draw in more funds. So, only argument I holds.

Teaching in vernacular medium would surely make it easy for students to grasp. But the use of 'only' in argument I makes it invalid. Also, teaching in international language would open up more avenues for students - in procuring books and study material, in going abroad for studies as well as taking up jobs which require interaction with people of different nationalities. So, argument II holds strong.

A doctor treating a patient individually can mislead the patient into wrong and unnecessary treatment for his personal gain. So, argument II holds strong. Also, a policy beneficial to common people cannot be termed 'undemocratic'. So. I is vague.

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 scientist 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 withing their motherland. So, argument II also does not hold.

The legislator should surely not be engagend in any other profession because only then will they be able to work with devotion. So, argument I holds. Also, if such a law is enforced, only those people will contest elections who are really prepared to work for the country. So, argument II is vague.

The Public Distribution System is indeed necessary to provide basic amenities to the economically backward sections of population. So, argument I is vague. Also, if the objectives of a system are not fulfilled because of corruption, then getting rid of the system is no solution. Instead, efforts should be made to end corruption and extend its benefits to the people for which it is meant. So, argument II also does not hold.

Clearly, a good behaviour may at some point of tome lead to mutual discussions and peaceful settlement of issues in the long run. So, argument I holds strong. However, such a behaviour may be mistaken for our weakness and it would be difficult to continue with it if the other country doesn't stop its sinister activities. Hence, II also holds.

In buying things on installments, a customer has to pay more as the interest is also included. So, argument I does not hold. Moreover, one who buys an item on installments maintains his future budget accordingly as he is well a acquainted with when and how much he has to pay, beforehand. So, argument II is also not valid.

Argument I: This argues for the benefits of banning non-vegetarian food, citing health and environmental improvements. Health benefits from reduced meat consumption can be significant, and animal farming does have a considerable environmental impact.
Argument II: This suggests that banning non-vegetarian food wouldn't significantly affect health or the environment, as other factors play a larger role.
Conclusion: Argument I is strong because it presents a direct and relevant rationale for the ban, whereas Argument II lacks specificity and evidence. Thus, only argument I is strong.

Physical force can accomplish a task by compulsion, while the influential writings can mould the thinking of an individual and change his discretion into accomplishing the task willfully. So, only argument I holds strong.

A single network of all the rivers in the country would surely enable a good distribution of water to all areas. So, argument II holds strong. Also, a policy beneficial to the nation cannot be hindered owing to lack of know how. Ways can be devised to build up such a network. So, argument I is vague.

Income - tax is levied so that every citizen can contribute a share of his earning towards the infrastructural development of the nation. So, argument I seems to be vague. However, Income - tax is no doubt a good source of revenue for the government. Hence argument II holds strong.

An equitable distribution of foreign investment is a must for uniform development all over the country. So, argument I holds. Also, no backward state ought to be neglected, rather such states should be prepared and shaped up to attract foreign investment as well. So, II does not hold.

The Government has already made provisions for reservation of jobs for the economically backward sections, which is a must. So, abolishing the practice of reservation altogether has no meaning. Thus, argument I is vague. Also, more reservations would lead to non-recruitment of many more deserving candidates. Besides, such a reservation, if implemented, will cater to the job requirements of only a small section of population and not a major part of it. So, argument II also does not hold strong.

- Argument I: "No. The private sector has always been opposed to working on governmental projects." -This argument is weak because it is overly generalized and doesn't provide any specific evidence or reasoning about why the private sector might not be suited to handle infrastructural projects. The opposition is not a valid reason for dismissing all projects and lacks context.
- Argument II: "Yes. The private sector can be successful in anything if the government supports it."-This argument is weak because it assumes that government support will guarantee success without providing any substantial reasons or addressing potential challenges specific to infrastructural projects.
Since both arguments lack depth and relevance in the context of the question, the answer is: d) Neither I nor II is strong

Closing down public-sector enterprises will definitely throw the engaged persons out of employment. So, argument I holds. Also, closing down is no solution for a loss-making enterprise. Rather, its causes of failure should be studied, analyzed and the essential reforms implemented. Even if this does not work out, the enterprise may be privatized. So, argument II is vague.
