Statement And Arguments Pdf Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps rrb clerk asst multipurpose prelims 2024

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 miner important and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a strong argument and which is a weak argument.

Question :1

Statement:
Should an organization like UNO be dissolved?
Arguments:
I.Yes. With cold war coming to an end. Such organizations have no role to play.
II.No. In the absence of such organizations there may be a world war.

Answer: (b)

Weak: Today UNO plays important role in international peace keeping efforts.

Question :2

Statement:
Should there be students' union in college/university?
Arguments:
I.No. This will create a political atmosphere in the campus.
II.Yes. It is very necessary. Students are future political leaders.

Answer: (d)

I. Weak: It is opinion based on an assumption that political atmosphere is not healthy for a college/university. Whereas, it also has a lots of benefits working the favour of students and their acceptable demands. It has benefits and shortcomings at the same time, but cannot be disregarded completely.
II. Weak: Again the argument focuses on its necessity for students to make them into future political leaders. The union cannot be formed keeping in mind that future politicians would be nurtured in such an environment. It is not the basic motive of unions in universities.

Question :3

Statement:
Should the railways in India be privatized in phased manner like other public sector enterprises?

I.Yes. This is the only way to bring in competitiveness and provide better services to the public.
II.No This will pose a threat to the national security of our country as multinationals will enter into the fray.

Answer: (a)

I is a prevailing notion of truth, II is factually incorrect

Question :4

Statement:
Is the Government justified in spending so much on defense?
Arguments:
I.Yes. Safety of the country is of prime importance.
II.No. During peace, this money could be used for the development of the country.

Answer: (d)

I. Strong: It is a universally accepted truth. Nothing stands above that safety of an individual.
II. Weak: It is a vague argument as this period "During peace" does not exist. We cannot be sure that it is a period of peace. Any country can get into a state of war anytime, it has to develop its defense all the time keeping it in sync with the technology of the enemy for the safety of its people.

Question :5

Statement:
Should there be reservation of seats and posts on communal basis?
Arguments:
I.Yes. It will check most of the inter-communal biases.
II.No. Ours is a secular state.

Answer: (d)

I. Weak: It is an opinion, as how the inter communal biases would be checked has not been mentioned, i.e. no supporting fact.
II. Weak: Communal basis, i.e. on the basis of caste, status, religion, region (any one of the above). Just because ours is a secular (freedom of religion) state, reservation on all the basis cannot be controlled or abolished.
