In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong 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 questions below are followed by two arguments each numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the two arguments is the strong argument and which is the weak argument.

Statement:

Since English is one of the official languages of India, should all schools be made English medium?

1. Yes. It would teach people the global language. It is important that people learn the language that has become a status symbol in this country.
2. No. More than half the population does not speak English and it would only make learning in schools more difficult for students.
